Hardcore Cider Co.
Barrel Proof - Whiskey Barrel-Aged Cider
Experience the Power of Whiskey Barrel Aging
Where craft cider meets whiskey rebellion. 7.5% ALC./VOL*
This is no ordinary cider. We've taken 100% estate-grown Okanagan apples and hidden them away in freshly dumped award-winning Laird of Fintry whiskey barrels from our friends at Okanagan Spirits. What emerges is liquid gold—a prohibition-inspired masterpiece that blurs the line between cider and spirits.
What Makes It Hardcore:
- Aged in premium whiskey barrels for deep oak, vanilla, and caramel notes
- Crisp Okanagan apple character infused with whiskey barrel complexity
- Off-dry finish that's smooth, sophisticated, and dangerously drinkable
- A tribute to prohibition-era ingenuity and rule-breaking spirit
Pairs Fearlessly With:
- Premium cigars and contemplative evenings
- Smoked brisket and BBQ ribs
- Aged cheddar and dark chocolate
- Fireside conversations and bold ideas
The Hardcore Philosophy: Some secrets are worth keeping. During prohibition, the best spirits were hidden in barrels, waiting for those brave enough to seek them out. We've channeled that rebellious spirit into every bottle—aging pure Okanagan apples in whiskey barrels to create something that defies categories and demands respect. This is cider for those who appreciate the finer things and aren't afraid to push boundaries.
Ingredients: 100% Okanagan Apples.
Process: Cold pressure-fermented to capture vibrant apple aromatics, then aged in freshly-dumped whiskey barrels from Okanagan Spirits for layers of caramel, toasted oak, and a smooth whiskey finish.
