Tired of synthetic, candy-coated apple flavors that disappear as soon as you exhale? Step into my Alchemist’s Lab and experience a profile with true "roots." Nordic Nectar Apple-Wort is a rustic, full-bodied cider experience designed for those who appreciate the complexity of the harvest.

​Deep in the frost-rimed orchards of the ancient Nordic Europe, before the first snow of the Great Winter falls, the village gathers for the Wassail. They carry heavy iron pots filled with a simmering brew to the oldest apple tree in the grove—the "Mother of the Orchard."

​Nordic Nectar Apple-Wort is the alchemical recreation of that sacred offering. Mixmaster Mike has captured the moment the ladle breaks the surface of the cauldron, releasing the steam of heirloom apples, zesty citrus, and forest-harvested spices. This isn't a candy juice; it is a liquid tribute to the spirits of the wood, a potent "Apple-Wort" (Apple-Herb) designed to warm the blood when the sun hangs low on the horizon.

​I've taken the crisp, tart bite of Country Apple and Fuji along with Pears and mulled them in a simmering cauldron of Blood Orange zest and hand-selected spices including Clove and Cinnamon. A deep, syrupy base of Brown Sugar and a whisper of Black Tea and Cranberry provides a tannin-rich finish that lingers like the smoke of a Yule log.
