Empyrical Cider - Abstract Cider (750 mL)
Empyrical's Abstract Cider is a single-varietal study of Harrison’s Cider Apple. Cryo-concentrated and barrel-aged for an imperial ABV of 12.1%, this cider has robust tannins and an intense focus on the famed heritage apple’s characteristic flavors of smoke, marmalade, pepper, spice, a bourbon cherry, and the last sip of an old-fashioned. This limited edition version of Abstract was finished off-dry in the champagne method.
About Empyrical Cider: We simply cannot say enough good things about Empyrical Cider. Since their launch in 2022, every cider & perry they've released has been one of our favorite bottles in the shop. (Side note: we've also had the pleasure of trying countless bottles of experimental batches and bottles from their archives, all of which have been highly impressive). In a few short years they've won countless awards for their ciders - most notably being crowned the Best New Cidery at the Northwest Cider Cup (2023), and Cider Maker of the Year at GLINTCAP for three consecutive years and counting (micro-scale category, 2023-2025).
Empyrical Cider was started by Adam Wargacki and Elizabeth Lockhart - partners in business and in life. They planted their own pome fruit orchard on their family's property in Snohomish, Washington. Notably, more than 400 of their 1500+ fruit trees are traditional perry pear varieties. They craft their cider and perry blends with an immense amount of thought and careful attention to detail - and the results are always stunning. Each of their releases is a very limited, small batch offering, and not to be missed. Easily the best perry maker in the United States, and their ciders are every bit as good.
