Finnriver Oak & Apple Cider 6.5% abv
A foundation of bright citrus in this cider is layered with a smooth whiskey depth and spicy rye spirit. A fine, craft cider that showcases American oak, Northwest rye whiskey, and a select blend of Certified Organic Washington apples from the Yakima Valley. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to capture the full ester profile of the apples and then aged for 12 to 16 weeks in rye whiskey barrels from High West Distillery in Park City, Utah. Woody astringency balances the acidity, and then finishes with lovely toasted oak and vanilla notes.

Finnriver Farm & Cidery
The Finnriver crew farms and ferments on an 80acre family farm and orchard in Chimacum, along a restored salmon stream on the north Olympic Peninsula of Washington. While our farm is remote, we’re honored to be on the forefront of the Pacific Northwest hard cider revival and we are committed to producing both traditional and innovative hard ciders using premium, organic ingredients while maintaining an authentically farmcrafted and land-based operation.
