01Tasting notes

Pressed from mountain orchard apples, rested in bourbon barrels.

Pressed from mountain orchard apples, rested in bourbon barrels. Baked apple, cinnamon, and warm oak. Autumn in a glass, and only around in autumn.

Every fall we press apples from orchards up the ridge and run the juice through the pot still. It rests two years in barrels that already held our bourbon, picking up vanilla and spice on the way out.
