Alpenfire Cider - Smoke Pommeau (375 mL)
Smoke is a pommeau from Alpenfire that is aged over peated whiskey oak chips for a prolonged period. Fresh apple juice from fruit grown on Alpenfire's estate orchard is blended with apple brandy (distilled from their own cider) and then aged for nearly 5 years before bottling. The result is a sweet and pleasantly smokey, spirit-like dessert cider that is perfect for those who love drinking cider by a campfire or that enjoy a warming, luscious spirit. Perfect for these cool Fall and Winter nights.
2019 Vintage (year fruit was pressed).
About Pommeau: French-style apple ‘mistelle,’ a blend of fresh juice (called ‘must’) and brandy. Historically, in western France, fresh apple juice was blended with cider brandy to preserve the flavors throughout the year. This operation, known as ‘mutage,’ was done quietly on the family farm and, for centuries, the method was a closely guarded secret. The result became the local apéritif, called Pommeau - from ‘pomme,’ meaning apple. A fine Pommeau blends strength, sweetness and delicacy.
