Neversink Apple Spéritif-Pommeau

This sophisticated spirit is meticulously crafted from a blend of Neversink apple brandy, aged for a year in ex-whiskey barrels, and freshly pressed, unfermented heirloom apple cider in a two-to-one ratio.

After blending, the apéritif undergoes an 18-month aging process in 60-gallon French oak casks, previously used for white wine, enhancing its depth and complexity.

Upon tasting, the Neversink apple apéritif reveals a fresh red apple aroma, accompanied by subtle notes of walnut and butterscotch toffee. The palate is greeted with bright acidity, complemented by hints of clove, sage, and celery root. The finish is a harmonious blend of fresh apple skin and stewed apples, accented by a touch of ginger.

What sets this apéritif apart is its commitment to natural flavors, containing no added sugar. It is also noteworthy that Neversink Spirits holds an NY Farm Distillery License, emphasizing their dedication to sourcing locally.

With an ABV of 21.75%, which may vary slightly between batches, this pommeau-inspired apéritif is best enjoyed slightly chilled, either neat or in a cold-weather Spritz. To maintain its vibrant flavors, it is recommended to refrigerate the spirit after opening and consume it within 3–6 months, as it will begin to develop deeper, oxidized notes over time.
