We're blessed to have befriended Adam & Elizabeth from Empyrical Orchard & Cidery. Years of Empyrical research have resulted in several highly sought after awards in their two short years of commercial production, including back-to-back recognition as the GLINTCAP Cidermaker of the Year (2023 and 2024, micro-scale category) and the Northwest Cider Cup's Best New Cidery (2023).

Everything we've tried from Empyrical has been exceptional. This mixed bundle includes your choice of 6 or 12 bottles of their current offerings: 

  • La Raison (500 mL bottle): Oak fermented blend of ripe heritage russet apples and estate-grown bittersweet apples. 
  • Constant (500 mL bottle): Still cider made from a blend of estate-grown bittersweet and russet apples.
  • Inversion (500 mL bottle): Made from a blend of American and English cider apples, aged in the bottle 18-months. Riddled and finished Methode Champenois with fresh perry pear juice. 
  • Inquiry (500 mL bottle): Sparkling blend of Quince and traditional cider apples. 
  • Outlier (500 mL bottle): A single-varietal, single-tree cider made from crabapples growing on an old prairie orchard in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. 
  • Archive Perry (500 mL bottle): Award winning, barrel aged traditional perry. 

The 12 Bottle box includes two bottles each from the above, except for one bottle will be swapped out for a bottle of Abstract (750 mL bottle).

We ship cider in boxes that safely hold 4-bottles, 6-bottles, or 12-bottles. Order in one of those quantities (or multiples of those quantities) to maximize your shipping value. For example, if you order 2-3 ciders, there will be room left in the box and it won't meaningfully change the shipping costs to fill the box.

We do have 1-bottle boxes, but in most all instances it will cost the same to ship you a full 4-bottle box.

Shipping to a business address will usually save you a few bucks!

Shipping cost estimates:

  • Pacific Northwest/West Coast: Shipping anywhere in the Pacific Northwest or West Coast is relatively inexpensive. Almost all box sizes cost $16-21 to ship. Same is true for most destinations in the Mountain Time Zone.
  • Central Standard Time Zone / Midwest: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $18-24 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $22-30 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.
  • East Coast: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $20-25 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $25-35 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.

Important Shipping Information:

  • We are able to ship cider to most, but not all, states.
  • Legally, someone 21+ must be present at the time of delivery to sign for the cider. We cannot ship to PO Boxes or AFO/FPO addresses.
  • Shipping prices vary by weight and destination. How far you are from Seattle (where we ship from), and remote vs. central your shipping destination is, and how heavy your box is will make shipping vary.
  • The bigger the box, the less you pay in shipping on a per-bottle basis. We ship in 1, 4, 6, and 12 bottle boxes - order in those quantities for the best shipping value. The size of the box matters as much as the weight, so don't leave empty slots in your bottle box! Shipping a 1-2 bottles will cost the same as shipping 4-6 bottles in most cases. Shipping a 12-bottle box is usually only $3-5 more than shipping a 4-6 bottle box.
  • Re-delivery and returns are the responsibility of the customer.
  • We don't recommend shipping during periods of extreme weather. If your area has weather of concern, please contact us and we can hold your order. 

We can usually accommodate rush requests for delivery or pickup. Please e-mail us at cider@pressthenpress.com or call/text us at (206)395-4008.
