Truck 59 - Bourbon Blackberry Cider

Cider from Truck 59, hitting bourbon and blackberry together in one can. It's sweeter than a dry cider and the bourbon note is genuine, not just flavouring syrup. Grab this if someone wants something different at a backyard fire or doesn't drink beer but wants something with a bit of weight to it. At eleven bucks it's an easy yes.

Truck 59 Cider brings together two beloved flavors in this Bourbon Blackberry Cider, a creative take on craft cider that draws inspiration from American whiskey traditions.

This 750ml bottle showcases a blend of crisp apple cider infused with ripe blackberry and aged in bourbon barrels, resulting in a complex and layered drinking experience.

The bourbon barrel aging imparts subtle notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak that complement the natural tartness of the blackberries and the clean apple base.

Truck 59 has built a reputation for pushing boundaries in the cider world, and this offering demonstrates their willingness to experiment with flavor combinations that appeal to both cider enthusiasts and whiskey drinkers alike.

The blackberry component adds a rich, jammy quality without overwhelming the delicate apple character, while the bourbon influence provides depth and warmth. This cider works well slightly chilled as an aperitif or paired with grilled meats, sharp cheeses, or berry desserts.

For those looking to explore the intersection of craft cider and whiskey barrel aging, this bottle offers an approachable entry point with genuine complexity.
