The fantastic of us at Snow Capped Cider shared a bottle of the Single Varietal Blanc Mollett with me, and I’m tremendous excited to evaluate it. I’ve by no means had a single varietal of this apple earlier than; I could by no means have had it in a cider earlier than (although I don’t know that with certainty).

Right here’s how Snow Capped Cider describes the Single Varietal Blanc Mollet:
This bittersweet apple was grown in our Colorado orchards, then romantically aged in pear brandy barrels for six months. Blanc Mollet is as pleasant as its french apple namesake. Introducing itself with a deep, golden hue, inviting aroma and easy medium astringency on the palate. Loving notes of candy pear, orange blossom and vanilla dance collectively ending with a heat, barely dry end.
Alcohol 8.90%
Look: intense cinnamon coloration, sensible, few seen bubbles
This cider’s coloration jogs my memory of cinnamon, tea, and medium heat brown saddle leather-based. It’s earthy and alluring. The cider has brilliance however only a few seen bubbles.
Aromas: juicy, overripe apples, candy cherries, ice cider
Wow! The Blanc Mollet presents a posh and engaging bouquet. It smells juicy and mellow with notes of overripe apples and barrel-y caramel. The parade of scents continues by reminding me of ice cider, candy cherries, and brown sugar. The cider’s aromas are concentrated and highly effective.
Sweetness/dryness: Dry
There’s a ton occurring on this cider, however the Blanc Mollet is dry.
Flavors and ingesting expertise: Leather-based, heat, wealthy, medium tannins
The Blanc Mollet’s intricacies proceed with an exquisite style expertise. The cider jogs my memory of leather-based, with its heat, richness, and gentle astringency. There’s simply a lot velvety, crackly texture in these medium tannins and full physique. The Blanc Mollet has medium-high acidity which helps preserve the cider from going too free or heavy. I used to be stunned to seek out it barely petillant fairly than bringing a stronger bubble.
The barrel getting older is integrated so easily into the cider, that it’s a blended a part of the flavour all through. It neither spikes nor dips, and it doesn’t dominate the expertise. I recognize that sense of steadiness tremendously.
Handle yourselves and one another, cider pals.
