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.

January 2018: Shared 500 ml bottle, from Aberdeen Country Fair. ABV is 6.9%. Very pale straw colour. Nice aroma of apples, only a hint of whisky cask. Sweet apples in the flavour too, with subtle notes of whisky cask.

0,5 flaske på RBHD-samling, Bjørnøy jan-18: klar lys strågul med kort bruseskum. Nydelig cideraroma med vanilje men jeg kan ikke ane maltwhiskyen. Rund og elegant smak, farlig lettdrikkelig og en av de virkelig bedre cidere jeg har smakt.

Shared bottle at RB/HD at Bjørnøy 26.01.18. Clear pale yellow. A few bubbles of white head. Fine aroma of apple cider and vanilla. Similar taste, with a hint of oak and smoke. Slightly astringent mouthfeel.

This is kind of a hard one to call. The effect of the whiskey Cask on the cider is extremely subtle. I couldn't pick it up in the aroma at all and it is just barely there in the flavor. While I think it would be very easy to overdo it on the other hand it's so slight that it might have been under played as well so here we are. It's good cider.

Tap at BAF 2017. Hazy pale straw with some bubbles. Sweet apple, vanilla, soft whisky, melon, light sugary, pears, a hint of ash and minerals. Medium sweet and a touch of sourness. Medium bodied with sparkly carbonation. Not bad!

Pint at Clachaig Inn draft. Clear gold with a medium heavy lacing white head. Nose is sweet red apples, Scotch whiskey, and a hint of oak,. Flavor is lightly sweet with a hint of tart apples, Scotch whiskey, and oak.Very nice with the single malt background. Probably will need a second pint rather than a lager beer rating.

Aus der Flasche im Loch Ness Pub Berlin im 2017-07 getrunken. Das BA in Whiskyfässer rundet die tollen Apfelnote schön ab. Eine leichte honigartige Süsse rundet die Fruchtsäure gut ab. Recht kräftiges und harmonisches Cider.
