Western Cider - McIntosh (500 mL)

Western Cider Co

Western Cider Company's McIntosh is a single-variety cider made 100% from McIntosh apples grown in Montana's Bitterroot Valley. Cider makers from around the Pacific Northwest and beyond love getting their hands on the McIntosh apples grown in the Bitterroot Valley, where Western Cider calls home. Rightfully so, it makes a fantastic cider. Simply put, Western Cider's McIntosh is one of the absolute best ciders you can get your hands on, especially for the price. 

Tasting Notes: Bright aromatics of fresh apple. Semi-dry cider with medium-minus tannins and high acidity. Fresh and tart, with notes of crisp apple, red apple skin, candy green apple jolly rancher, fresh pineapple, guava, and canned pear. Beautiful juicy acid and a tropical finish - both of which linger for a pleasant amount of time. 

About Western Cider Company: Founder Michael Billingsley and his wife Arielle planted a cider apple orchard in 2010 in Montana's Bitterroot Valley - an area with a rich apple history. Inspired by traditional cider cultures from around the world as well as modern American cider styles, Western Cider Co. is committed to making cider for everyone - from easy-drinking to complex, affordable and high-end, traditional and experimental. Their traditional ciders are crafted using cider apples from their own orchard, neighboring orchards in the Bitterroot Valley, and apples gleaned through their Community Cider Collaborations. Their easy going ciders use apples from their neighbors to the west - Oregon and Washington. One of the few ciders in the U.S. who makes a wide range of both modern and classic cider styles, all done exceptionally well.

If you're looking for a full case of this or any other cider, please e-mail us and we'll setup a special order for you. We can usually get more of any cider we feature in our shop, and offer a discount on full-case special orders. Most bottled ciders come in 12-bottle cases, and canned ciders come in 24-can cases. Some rare or limited ciders may not be eligible for a case order discount, but we can still get you a full case.

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 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.

We offer home delivery of cider orders for customers in the Seattle area, including the east-side. Someone 21+ must be available to accept the delivery. We will be flexible in scheduling a delivery that works for you. Most deliveries are made within a few days of the order being placed.

Orders can be picked up for free at Makeda & Mingus, a coffee shop and community space in the Greenwood neighborhood. They are open everyday from 7AM-5PM. Orders are made available for pickup within 1-3 days.

If you love cider and anticipate ordering 3+ boxes per year, consider joining one of our Cider Clubs. Club members get great benefits including discounts on any orders they make with us, year round.
