Common descriptors are
Finnriver is honored to present master cider-maker Drew Zimmerman’s award-winning Fire Barrel Cider. Pressed from traditional bittersweet apples and aged in fire-charred Kentucky bourbon barrels, this full-flavored cider offers a hint of whiskey, oak aroma, notes of caramel and vanilla, and a lingering soft tannin finish. Drew’s passion for cider helped ignite the cider rennaissance in the Pacific Northwest and now, here at Finnriver, we are grateful for his mentorship as we strive to carry on a rooted cider tradition. Made with a seasonal blend of heirloom and traditional cider apples.
