I've got a batch of cider that I'm about ready to bottle and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with adding spices to cider when they bottle. I'm curious what kind of a flavor I can get, so what I plan on doing right now is splitting my batch into an unspiced portion and a spiced portion where I would simmer some cinnamon (and maybe cloves) with the priming sugar before adding it in and letting it bottle carb/age for a few months.
Anyone have any experience with trying something like this and how'd it turn out?
 
I've always added spices in the fermenter.

So, post your results when you have them and be the expert! Monthly flavor checks would be good.
