Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Medium aroma. Sweet whisky notes with aromas of apple, cinnamon, cardamom, caramel and butter.
Initial Taste: No bite. Smooth to consume with a honey crisp-like apple taste and an artificial whisky flavour.
After Taste: Moves to a more apple finish with spices becoming pronounced – especially cinnamon. An almost sweet tea finish with some bitterness from the whiskey elements lingering.
On ice: A little less carbonation and bourbon flavour. Shorter aftertaste and intensity.
Additional Notes: Growers Spiced Bourbon has sweet and spicy flavours that brings some warmth to the drink. The whisky/bourbon flavour makes it a unique, but not authentic spirit-inspired drink – as a true barrel-aged cider would. May work well in cocktails. Has a mixture of artificial and natural flavours.

Hi Kelly – We do not sell. The Wine Rack might be your best option as it is their product.

Greetings, I am in search of a location or a way to obtain the Grower’s Spiced Bourbon (1 litre bottle) and the Grower’s Strawberry Rhubarb Ciders (6 pack). I do not have a business, and do not wish to re-sell, but I do wish to buy in bulk for personal use. I checked the Grower’s website and it appears that the Strawberry Rhubarb flavour is not available in Ontario — where I reside in Collingwood — and is only available in Alberta. If you have one, or both, of these Grower’s products and can sell them to me, I will be happy to purchase a mandatory minimum bulk order if required. Please let me know. Many thanks.
