Pommeau

350ml and 750ml Bottles | 24.5% ABV

A little lighter, a little sweeter, Pommeau is our spin on a classic aperitif (French-fancy for “before dinner drink”). To craft this magical, apple sensation, we start with 2-year-aged Dead Bird Brandy and infuse it with unfermented, fresh-pressed apple cider - - it’s sort of an old-meets-new moment. The melange is then aged for another 3 years in oak barrels. The result is a delicious concoction that is sweeter, apple-y-er and lower in alcohol content. Pommeau is similar to a sherry or a port in its drinking style.

Tasting notes from our friend, Kevin Clayton of Village Wine & Coffee:
Nose: Sweet apple, beeswax and a hint of cherry pie.
Palate: Pleasant richness to the midpalate and a generous mouthfeel, followed by a good length and lingering flavors on the finish.
Overall: A lovely pre-dinner aperitif and even good on ice on warmer days.

Serve: Our favorite way to drink Pommeau is chilled or on ice.
