Barrel-Aged Pale Sour with Montmorency Cherries
Bottle Release 1/2/25 - $18/500mL Bottle
We took the beautifully tart and unique three-year-blend for Growth Rings 2025 and racked it onto 300 lbs of Montmorency sour cherries from Baugher's Orchard (Westminster, MD). These cherries provide a wonderful cherry pie aroma with notes of marzipan to compliment the vanilla-notes from the oak. Despite the high fruiting rate (6 oz of cherries per bottle) these sour cherries only provides a pale pink hue.

Bottle shared by Joe, thanks! Pours a clear rosey peach with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has sour cherry with light oak and a bit of straw underlying. Flavor has strong sour cherry with a bit of oak and a light grain backbone.
