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.

Draft: Poured a golden with bubble white head. Aroma is strong apple with whiskey wood hint. Taste is sweet apples that the whiskey has latched onto.

On tap at CiderCider, Rotterdam. Very pale greenish gold. Mild apple juice aroma with a light whiskey touch. Sweet apple, very gentle, nice balance with peat and barrel. Refreshing, light body. Floral touch, soft vanilla. Fruity palate coating, quite complex. Soft to moderate carbonation.

Pale yellow. Sweet cider flavor with a smokey and woody taste. Unusual but doesn’t really go as good together as a whiskey barrel beer.

I was reading about this cider and then saw it on Rakuten so picked one up, I think it was just 300Β₯ or so too! Thistly Cross 6.9% Whiskey Cask Cider Clear gold with a fizzy champagne like head that quickly vanished. The aroma is sweet apples, mild sweet whiskey and oak. Full bodied but ending very dry. This is delicious with a big bold fruity apple at first then sweet whiskey notes with a touch of oak and smoke while in the aftertaste you get tart apples priming you for the next sip. Excellent and good value. If you see it in Japan get it.
