This is a highly limited edition version of Eden's flagship Heirloom Blend Ice Cider. This batch is aged 8 more years in barrels previously used for aging Apple Brandy. This is the “dark roast” sibling to their flagship . Spicy and complex, it has fruit character for miles, with notes of vanilla, toffee and caramel. Great on its own or as an interesting cocktail ingredient.
