Based on a recipe in the historical text "A View of the Cultivation of Fruit Trees and the Management of Orchards and Cider" authored by William Coxe and published in the year 1817, this cider is comprised of a rich blend of 3 different classic cider apples. According to William Coxe, "the finest liquor I have ever seen, was made from the crab, with a small portion of the Harrison apple of Newark, and the Winesap of West-Jersey." 1817 is our interpretation of that blend, and contains the Virginia Hewes Crab (mentioned elsewhere in the text), along with the Harrison and Winesap apples. It is indeed rich, smooth, tart and complex, with a deep golden hue.
