Peak Light Cider - Barrel Aged Cherry Cider (750 mL)
Peak Light's Barrel Aged Cherry Cider is a small batch, limited release made in collaboration with Freeland Spirits from Portland, Oregon. The cider is made from a blend of tannic cider apple varieties grown on Peak Light's estate orchard, co-fermented with Rainier Cherries, then aged in Freeland Whiskey barrels. A delightful marriage of apple and cherry flavors with notes of peach and a pleasantly mild whiskey finish. Apple varieties include Dabinett, Porter's Perfection, Brown Snout, and Wickson Crab Apples.
About Peak Light Cider: One of our favorite Oregon cideries, Peak Light is a family run farm and cidery based on Sauvie Island. Located just a few minutes drive northwest of Portland, Sauvie Island is a tranquil island covered in farmland and surrounded by the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. From the top of Peak Light's sloped estate orchard you can see four of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic mountains - Mount Adams, Mount Rainier, Mt. Saint Helens, an Mount Hood. Jen and Travis Lovejoy adhere to principles of organic and biodynamic farming, with a holistic effort to maximize biodiversity in their orchard. They craft fine ciders using traditional cider apple varieties, quince, and other fruit grown on their home orchard, with some fruit coming from other like-minded local farmers. The result is a variety of exceptional ciders that provide a high quality farm-to-bottle experience.
Fun label design notes: The gorgeous mountain view from their orchard is depicted in the die cut along the bottom edge of each of their cider's labels. See the four peaks?Also the grid on the cider's label represents each tree in their orchard, with the varieties used in each bottle and the trees the fruit came from highlighted. How cool is that?
