The best and worst of barrel aged ciders I’ve ever had. Some peel and some light bourbon. Not bad. More tangy than sweet.

375 ml. bottle split by 3 @ “Brazilian Tasting”. Thank you sebletitje! Bottle number 64/300 (I think, handwriting is a bit hard to read, did a doctor number these?). Bright golden. Nose is mild alcohol for an ice cider but noticeable, interestingly apple skins are clearly present here giving some bitterness, sweet is typical, medium in how sweet it is, lots of sweet apple, sugar quality is lightly reminiscent of white sugar or maybe even backing sugar. Taste is same thick apple quality with a surprising amount of bitter apple peel, rather sugar in a white sugar type of way, alcohol is medium, some candy qualities, finish is bitter apple skins, light tone that is reminiscent of unwashed apples,… Body is med. not overly thick. Very nice but not the best that the style has to offer in my opinion.

375ml bottle via trade, thanks Adamjackson. Bottle# 64/300. Dorée, huileux au verre. Arôme de pomme, fleuri, léger caramel résiduel, note douce et sucrée avec un petit rétro acidulé. Palais offre une belle profondeur de pomme, léger tanin et une fine astringence de pelure de pomme chaire blanche. Râpeux au fini avec un complément fruité sucré. La fin est plus orientée vers un fruité et léger fleuri et tanin complété par un caractère boisé du chêne qui est plus discret mais procure tout de même des notes boisées tirant sur l’épicé.
