Apple Cider - Ice / Fire / FortifiedAlcohol Content:

SpecialDescription:Essence is an ice cider or intensified cider. We make it by allowing late harvest juice to freeze partially. As the juice freezes the water is separated out and the remaining juice is concentrated with high brix and intense flavors. Although ice ciders are wildly popular in Quebec and other parts of Canada, the Bureau of Alcohol in this country doesn’t have an ice cider category, yet.
Essence is replete with honey, caramel, apricot jam and juicy apples. The 15% residual sugar is balanced by a lively tartness. This ice cider is impressive as dessert itself but can be spectacular paired with sweets such as crust-less Italian cheesecake, crème caramel or homemade cinnamon doughnuts. If you feel like keeping it simple, serve with fresh local Jonagold apples and Stilton drizzled with honey.
