Prohibition – Barrel Series
The secret to Prohibition lies in the barrel. Rich, full-bodied and intriguing, Newfoundland Screech barrels were the inspiration for Prohibition, which opens up to reveal notes of molasses, apples and sugar cane. Raise a glass of Prohibition and let your apples out of the barrel!

the story
Prohibition cider is our homage to the people who, during Prohibition, ran illicit boats full of liquor across the international line in the coastal waters that can be seen from our Ciderhouse. This seafaring connection was first formed when we obtained Newfoundland “Screech” (rum) barrels to age one of our cider blends.
Rum and bourbon barrels were once a cider maker’s only storage option and their use imparted distinctly spirited notes to traditional cider. Our Prohibition cider blends the juice of highly aromatic apples, such as Stayman Winesaps and Winter Bananas (all certified organic), so that the apple aromas match the intensity of the oak and rum notes.
