How many ways can you say delicious? I know of one way and it has the word Scrumpy in it. J.K.'s Scrumpy Hard Cider ($7.99 for 22oz) is not like any other cider on the market or in the world for that matter. Other ciders can have a bitter and even metallic taste. J.K.'s Scrumpy is an all natural certified organic cider that really tastes like a sweet red apple juice. J.K.'s Scrumpy comes from a family owned farm in Flushing, Michigan. The first batch was bottled back in the 1850's. Not much has changed in the process. No insecticides are used on the farm orchard. In fact, large guinea fowl wander around the farm and eat the bugs, and Berkshire pigs wander the orchard and eat the fallen apples. Some say this is costly and not time efficient, but then again, no cider in the world can compare. Once harvested, the organic apples are pressed and allowed to ferment for up to six months. Then, they painstakingly hand label and fill the bottles which are left for several weeks to bottle condition. Apple juice and yeast, that's all that goes into this amazing cider. You'll find no artificial flavors, colors, sulfites, or any other kind of preservative in J.K.'s Scrumpy Cider. Where can you find something of this quality and tradition anymore? It's not hard. You can find this great product at the West Vail Liquor Mart. Grab one up, or two, or three.....
