The Shake embodies all the best Vermont has to offer. Made with a blend of wild foraged apples and local orchard apples which were pressed and aged in WhistlePig Whiskey barrels. Finally, we added just a bit of maple syrup for balance…because well, Vermont.
Tasting Notes: Floral and slightly smoky with notes of maple syrup dripped over a mossy stone

Can at home after a day of biking and pool. Deep gold. Few bubbles. Nose is appley, touch of oak, and maple. Tastes the same. Maple is a kiss. Light booze. Rich apple.

750ml bottle from their cider club. Regular format should be canned I believe. Lo-ball glass @home. Clear, filtered, deep metallic gold & bubbly. Tart apple, pith, long bittersweet nose. Not very strong though. Clean, bittersweet, sharp, citrus-y, rounded whiskey, lingering malic acid, & a dry malt character, but no obvious maple. Semi-sweet. No distilled flavors in this one. They've been doing that lately. Missing that last note to make it memorable. Texture is thin but slick, I'm guessing because of the syrup. I was expecting more of a honey feel. Very acidic, but the sharp edges smooth out. Burns in my stomach though. Boozier than anticipated. Sulfites play nice. Probably feel it later. Surprisingly good.
