Octobers Explorer Box features Ashen Fairy and Native Cassis.

BOOK OF NOMAD | ASHEN FAIRY
Ashen Fairy is a blackberry Nordic Mead that tastes like a blackberry cordial, fermented lemon soda, and smashed citrus jam. Made from NY Apples, Wildflower Honey, Blackberry, Sumac, Lemon Balm, Bergamot Orange Oil, Orris Root, and Kviek Yeast.

NATIVE | CASSIS
We sourced the Cassis from a farm in the Hudson Valley. To achieve a multi-dimensional flavor, we not only fermented the Cassis with the cider, but we also back-sweetened post-fermentation for a hint of sweetness.⁠ As always, Native incorporated liquid from our fouder as well as an extended aging process in oak barrels.⁠ Native Cassis is delicate, zingy, and reminiscent of Lambrusco.⁠
