Is this out of production? I bought a bottle last month though I guess it could have just been remaining store stock. Anyway.

I’m 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.

BIAB at Half Moon, Darlington. Clear golden colour, thin bubbly head and aroma of apple, rum hints. Taste is sweet, appley, woody, rum barrel notes, sugary, with alittle tartness. Medium bodied, low carbonation, medium-sweet finish. Quite OK
