A flavoursome cider made potent in the oak of a Glen Moray whisky cask with lingering tastes to be savoured. A gentle whisky flavour initially intermingles with subtle, medium dry cider, giving way to the distinctive full bodied flavour of the cask; finishing overtones of whisky. It offers all the flavour of the cask whilst keeping the light, fruity aspect of all the Thistly Cross Ciders.

14/8/2021. Cask at the 24th Festival of Beer and Brewing at the Museum of East Anglian Life, Stowmarket. Pours clear very pale gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is semi-sweet, green apple, wood, whisky. Medium plus sweetness, with a light tartness. Medium body, sticky texture, soft carbonation. Sweet woody finish. Enjoyable.

28-02-21 // 330ml bottle. Clear pale golden. No head. Sweet cider. To sweet for my linking. But the mild whiskey notes are actually nice. Light honey sweetness. Rich apples. Good.

Pours very light and clear, nearly water. Scent is cider mmostly, appleskins, not much barrel, if any at all. Taste is rather sweetn barrel is extremely mild. Providing traces of oak, rather than actual whiskey. Decent cider, easy drinker, but would expect to actually taste the whiskey and the wood, which you barely can. Amp it up, boyz!

Bottle, pale blonde. Just a hint of Apple in the aroma but also hints of oak and whisky. Sweet Apple flavor with hints of vanilla, floral notes, oak and whisky. Quite pleasant.
