Spur is a smoked cider made with McIntosh, Cortland, & Northern Spy apples that were smoked in our smoker in February of 2024 using applewood and cherrywood.. As fans of smoked beverages like rauchbier, grodziskie, mezcal, and peated whiskeys – we wanted to create something that brings these same flavors to cider. Spur combines wispy smoked notes, with a refreshing fruity apple finish.
We fermented this cider spontaneously and aged it for six months in stainless tanks until dry. Lastly, we blend in a little Northern Spy (unsmoked cider) for balance, aiming towards a more subtle smokey note. The combo tastes like cinnamon apple sauce, dried pears, and finishes smokey. The smoked notes remind us of some of the same qualities that rauchbier (aka German smoked beer) provides.
Notes
Granny Smith in mezcal, cinnamon apple sauce, dried pears, peated citrus
