Keepsake Cidery - Wood & Spirits (750 mL)
Keepsake Cidery's Wood & Spirits Medium is a lovely barrel-aged cider made from a blend featuring 80% Keepsake apples, plus 20% dessert apple varieties. Native yeast fermentation, then aged on whiskey-soaked wood staves from Loon Liquors. Aged in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. Charmat Method for a natural sparkle.
Tasting Notes: Semi-dry cider with bright and elegant apple notes, and a slight residual sweetness that plays very well with the oak and spirit notes. Medium-plus acidity, light medium-minus tannins. Juicy with a light sweetness. A pleasant kiss of VA carries the juiciness. Fersh apple notes, soaked in oakiness which give it pleasant vanilla and oak undertones.
An excellent example of a well balanced barrel-aged cider that isn't overwhelmed by the barrel; and also a nice example of how a subtle amount of volatile acidity can be nicely additive in a well rounded cider.
About Keepsake Cidery: From the Cannon Valley in Minnesota, Keepsake makes some of the finest ciders in the Midwest. Named after the Keepsake apple, which was developed locally by the University of Minnesota's Horticulture program. Head Cidermaker Nate Watters makes a range of dry-to-sweet ciders with fantastic character and flavor profiles - clearly inspired by great English ciders. Made using cider apple varieties grown on their own orchard and procured from other local farms in the area - most of which are organically grown. All of the ciders are fermented naturally with the native yeast living on the fruit, and without any additives (no added sugar, nutrients, sulfites, etc.).
