Imperial Cherry Cider

article image -

A bold new take on a classic. This concoction starts with a blend of crisp local apples, we shake things up by macerating sour cherries, and age Imperial Cherry in used barrels from our sister company Wigle for a smooth finish. Imperial Cherry is a dessert in a glass with a full mouthfeel and luscious fruit finish.
