Thompson Creek ciders are made from and inspired by the heirloom and cider varieties of apples we grow on our orchard. The cider makers of Apple Outlaw use various methods of maturation, aging, and blending to bring out the very best.
Macintosh
Aged on French Oak
This single varietal cider highlights our beloved Macintosh apple. This aromatic apple lends its floral aromas of apple blossom and rose petal to this cider. Aging on French oak unlocks a beautiful soft raspberry quality that is highlighted by crisp apple and tropical fruit overtones.

RISING STAR
Aged in Oak Barrels
This rare cider is a product of nine months of aging on a massive amount of fresh, whole Rising Star peaches in oak barrels. Aromas invoke a mid-summer’s evening with prominent ripe peach notes and hints of other stone fruits. Light body and delicate balance yield a refreshing sipper. Subdued acidity allows for a fruity finish.

WICKSON
Applegate, Oregon
This single vaietal cider brings out the true nature of a Wickson. These little apples are nothing short of amazing. With the fermentation halted prior to full attenuation, this beautifully rich cider is left with a slight residual sweetness. Candied cinnamon, pecan, clove and cardamom balance the notes of citrus and ripe pear.
