1911 Maple Bourbon Cider

This is 1911’s indulgent take on hard cider, made by Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards in Lafayette, New York. It begins as real, pressed-apple hard cider, then takes its name and character from the casks it rests in — barrels that previously held bourbon and, after that, maple syrup. The result is a sweet, gently warming cider laced with maple, vanilla and toasted oak over crisp apple fruit.

Worth knowing: this is a hard apple cider rather than a spirit, so it stays easy-drinking and sociable while still delivering that cosy bourbon-and-maple warmth. Pour it well chilled straight from the can, or over ice when you want something a little more dessert-like.

It’s made for cool-weather drinking — bonfire evenings, holiday gatherings and hearty plates from roast pork to sharp cheddar and anything off the grill. Arrives as a 4-pack.
