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.

Bottle from Marks & Sparks in Rickmansworth, Herts. A clear golden coloured pour with a very thin white head on top. Sweet, apple and whisky notes. Tastes much the same, sweet, apple, whisky, some vanilla too. I really enjoyed this, my first cider rate.

Sampled from bottle at Craft Beer Festival Düsseldorf 2017. Clear, pale golden yellow, no head. Sweetish, sourish-fruity aroma of apples, some wood and hints of whisky. Very sweet, just minimally sourish, fruity taste of apples, vanilla and some wood, followed by a short, minimally tart, a little woody finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!

Recht süßer Antrunk ohne wirkliche Wahrnehmung der Fasslagerung. Apfelsaft, süffig, süß, gut zu trinken aber schwach für was es sein soll. 7/8/9/8//8

Il gusto al naso finisce sul fruttato, soprattutto mela. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. Le bollicine sono grandi. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. L bollicine sono fini. La carbonazione è media e morbida. Il colore è giallo paglierino. Il corpo è snello. Il dolce è pesante. L'amaro è leggero. L'intensità gustativa è normale e la persistenza gustativa è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di facile beva. Il finale è dissetante e semplice. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. L'aroma in bocca riporta sentori di frutta, soprattutto mela. Alcol presente.

From 33cl bottle. Pours fully transparent canary yellow with very limited and not persistent foam. Aroma is fruity, though the apple character is not so strong. The influence of whisky barrel aging is not so evident. Body is medium-light, very low carbonation. Taste is definitely sweet, with a pleasant bitterish feeling in the final, which is still rather short.

Clear deep golden color with a small bubbly white head that soon vanish. Decent intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Moderate acidity. Oak, some whisky and typical apple cider flavor.

On tap at Elizabeth Station, pours a hazy pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out medium sweet apples along with subdued whisky. Flavour is likewise pretty mellow on the whiskey, with medium sweetness from the apples upfront, light apple skins, and fairly high residual sweetness, venturing into cloying territory. Would like more whiskey. Unexciting and lacking complexity, and too cloying, but easy to drink.
