No vintage on the bottle, assumed it’s the 2008 because of the 9.5% ABV; Champagne-like bottle
Pale blond color, hazy. Fresh aroma of apples, citrusy, deep, a bit peachy. Dry mouthfeel; good dynamic flavor, green apples, citrusy. Moderate acidity, but well integrated.
Refreshing option, balanced.

750 ml swing top bottle. Pours a dark copper with almost no head. Aromas of baked apples and brown sugar. Flavors are similar; rich and mellow for a cider, with citrus and dark rum notes. Warm but ABV pretty much hidden. Nice

750mL bottle, pours a hazy orangey amber with no head. Aroma of rum, bourbon, apples, and moderate sweetness. Flavour of apple cinnamon, bourbon, rum barrels, and some vanilla sweetness. Awesome balance of flavours, very complex and fulfilling. As great as the other years of this cider.
