A Premium Hard Cider
Flavored by History
Merchant’s Daughter is premium, New York-sourced, hard cider inspired by hard-working merchant families and the women who led them. Our hard ciders are made in partnership with apple growers located in the Hudson Valley. We choose only apples rich in fresh, bright fruit flavors. This creates a sophisticated yet inviting taste-profile made to perfectly pair with your favorite dishes.
The inspiration behind Merchant’s Daughter Premium Hard Cider was the history and legacy of hard-working merchant families who handed down responsibility for their family businesses from one generation to the next. The name on the door was usually a man’s, but behind the counter their wives and daughters preserved the family legacy – both personal and professional. Our headquarters in Purdys, NY exemplifies this legacy. This former neighborhood General Store was passed down from generation to generation via the daughters. These merchant women were the backbone of the community. Their hard work and determination energized and fueled the growth of New York. They inspire us today and we honor their legacy each time a glass of Merchant’s Daughter Premium Hard Cider is shared amongst friends.

Semi-Dry
Hints of apple blossoms and honeydew melons linger over a core of apple flavors in our Semi-Dry Premium Hard Cider. Subtle hints of lemon peel, tangerine and stone fruits emerge. A thread of sweetness pulls through into a dry finish.

Clara’s Reserve
Available for a limited time only, Clara’s Reserve is composed of apples from the 2017 harvest which were then fermented and gently aged over time. Stately apple flavors stand in solidarity with more mature and rounded flavors like ginger, almond, and butterscotch. The finish to Clara’s Reserve Hard Cider is creamy, sweet, and dappled with subtle spices.

DRY
Merchant’s Daughter Dry Hard Cider is proudly apple-focused with notes of peach and apricot. Tucked deeply in the back of this cider are hints of garden thyme and sun-baked hay. Unapologetic acidity drives the mouthwatering finish and says “more please”.
Renewal and Reinvention
Three corporate refugees came together around a desire and a passion to build something for themselves. Something that was of the highest quality, something that enriched the community, something that highlighted the bounty that New York State has to offer, and something that allowed them to work with people they liked and have fun while doing it. We looked to the past for inspiration to create something special for the future.
