(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 17 July 2026) Pale golden colour with no head. Fruity nose with apples, oak wood and a touch of glue. Fruity taste with notes of apples, oak wood, orange, rum, hints of glue and a sweetish finish with a balanced acidity. More than medium body, quite sweet. Generous rum barrel character. Nice one.

Is this out of production? I bought a bottle last month though I guess it could have just been remaining store stock. Anyway.
Iām a bit shocked at how much more I like this than the whisky cask version. I really like whisky. The oaky rum barrel flavors blend really well with the sweetness of the cider. Oak, rum, and apples are well balanced here and very tasty.

Bottle from Fierce Bar, Aberdeen. It pours clear very pale yellow - gold with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is sweet and intoxicating, candied pear, dried apple, dark fruits, apple wine, rum soaked oak and cola cubes. The taste is sweet, quite sugary, tangy, plenty of dark fruits, candy, pic n mix, boiled sweets, cola cubes, rum & cola and some alcohol warmth... not a huge amount to it finish is short and sweet. Tbh I had hoped for more depth and less sweetness. Good boost I suppose. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Meh.
