Northern Spy Barrel-Aged Ice Cider by Eden Specialty Ciders
Northern Spy Barrel-Aged Ice Cider by Eden Specialty Ciders

Liquid gold. Really. This single-variety ice cider is made using the Northern Spy apple, a famous NY early-1800s variety prized for baking. Its zingy acidity and apple pie spice flavors make it one of the few single-variety ice ciders that stand up to barrel-aging.
In this case, we use top-of-the-line French oak Chardonnay barrels, which bring just a hint of vanilla and toffee to round out this spectacular ice cider.
Naturally cold-concentrated before fermentation in our Vermont winter weather. Arrested fermentation leaves residual sweetness.
Tasting notes: Baked apple, autumn spice, vanilla caramel.
Pairing suggestions: Enjoy with cheese, maple crème brulee, or butter cookies.
Gluten-free, vegan-friendly.
Currently available to the cider club only.

Our flagship ice cider is made with 15 heirloom apple varieties, all grown in Vermont. The combination creates a beautifully textured, still, sweet dessert-style cider that is elevated by a backbone of bright acidity.

Drink it on its own, after dinner, in a cocktail … with a drink this good, the possibilities are endless!

Taste the flavors of northern Michigan in this unique dessert wine made from local apples and Michigan maple syrup.
Black Star Farms adds brandy to apple wine, then adds locally made maple syrup for that final fall touch.
“This dessert wine is distinctively apple-layered with sweet barrel aromas. The maple flavor stands out and lingers long on the finish, while the brandy adds warmth to the palate.”
An amazing dessert wine value, sold in a full-size 750ml bottle.
Pairings:
This dessert wine pairs wonderfully with fall-inspired sweet treats. Some recommendations include pecan pie, pumpkin cheesecake, and traditional apple pie.
