Jotne - Oak barrel fermented & aged

Jotne takes its name from the Jötnar of Norse mythology—ancient giants shaped by cold, time, and raw natural forces. This cider reflects the same idea: depth, patience, and restrained power.

Made from Ellis Bitter, Santana, Aroma, and Discovery, Jotne was fermented and aged in a used apple brandy barrel, allowing subtle oak and spirit character to integrate gently with the fruit. The final stage of fermentation took place at very low temperature, slowing the process and preserving aromatic complexity. Fermentation naturally settled around SG 1.003, resulting in a dry yet layered cider.

After maturation, the cider was filtered, carbonated, and bottled.

Jotne is a cider for lovers of barrel-aged styles, offering structure, depth, and an evolving character in the glass. According to cider maker Jo Arild at Sandalen Gård, this cider is best enjoyed fully relaxed, served in a classic whisky or brandy glass, preferably from a reclining chair.
