Nashi Orchards - Black Swan Cider (750 mL)
Nashi Orchards - Black Swan Cider (750 mL)
Nashi Orchards's Black Swan is a whiskey barrel cider. Aged for 21 months in whiskey barrels, this cider is a blend of bittersweet and heirloom varietals. The two barrels used for aging were previously used by Copperworks Distillery and 3 Magnets Brewing for making whiskey and aging stouts. The final product is lightly spiritous with an oaky aroma, and green apple tartness. Medium bodied with a long dry finish.Â
Tasting Notes: Dry with balanced tannins and acidity. Leads on the palate with light spirit notes that carry through the palate, followed by notes of red apple skins, apple flesh, lightly earthy woody notes, and a finish of warm spirits and green apple
Why we love Nashi Orchards: Nashi grows 15 varietals of Asian pears, numerous varieties of perry pears, and cider and Spanish sidra apples on their Salmon-Safe certified Vashon orchard and certified organic Hood River orchard. Each year they release a handful of excellent, small-batch cider and perry offerings. They have one of our favorite tasting rooms to visit on Vashon Island, just west of Seattle. Each year they help organize one of our favorite Cider festivals in the Pacific Northwest in collaboration with the Vashon Chamber of Commerce - the Vashon Island Cider Fest.Â
