Alpine meadows, spring wildflowers, and the Green Mountains themselves
There are so many things that make our ciders special. From thoughtfully sourced, wild foraged and seasonal ingredients, to collaborations that span styles, industries, even continents. These specialty ciders give us a chance to venture out and work with the best ingredients we can get our hands on resulting in adventurous beverages that taste true to our native New England spirit.
The Vermonter is a dry, gin botanical cider made by slowly fermenting apples and adding juniper essence. With its piney nose, the juniper berry is the unifying ingredient in the production of gin, and when these woody yet floral berry notes are added to cider, the resulting beverage could easily pass for a sparkling cocktail. The resulting cider is homegrown but refined.
