Black Twig is a full-bodied varietal cider with a light astringency. It sports notes of orange peel, spice, and vanilla, followed by a clean finish. A seedling of the Winesap apple, in 1830 the Black Twig was discovered growing on the estate of Major Rankin Toole in Tennessee. Purported to be a favorite of Andrew Jackson, today this tart and tannic apple is prized by many who have had the good fortune to taste this increasingly rare variety.
