Clear honey golden. Caramel, green apples, oak barrel, candy sugar, hints of scotch whisky. Fruity sweetness, mild dry sourness. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry fruity finish with some scotch oak barrel notes. A quite heavy cider, tasty, balanced with some nice barrel aging notes.

I find it hard to rate a cider because I’m generally not a fan of the style. I found this one quite drinkable, though I had hoped for more pronounced cask flavours. For now, this rating will have to do.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers! Aroma of white wine, sugar, green apples and strong alcohol. Sweet apple and the whiskey comes through on the taste. Very well done.

Bottle from Gordon Rigg, Walsden. Clear light golden cider. The whisky ageing is prevalent in both aroma and taste but it's in the former where it is exceptional. Quite smooth too.

Bottled@Littlepub, Vaasa. Deep golden colour, minor head. Aroma is sweet apples, some apple jam, mild wooden tones with some slight whisky and vanilla to it. Flavour is very similar elements, but feels a bit thin as for the palate. Could do with just a wee bit more alcohol to it.

--Cask at The Lawrence Arms, Southsea. -- Clear golden, no head. Fruity nose with rope apples and mild peat. Sweet with medium to full body and rounded mouthfeel, still. Ripe apples, some peat and oak. Warming finish. Not much depth, but the whisky cask lifts it.
