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 sample at a wood-aged beers tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Clear very pale golden, white-wine-like color. Aroma of whiskey, green apples, alcohol, vanilla, wood and citric notes. Sweet flavor, slightly sourish, with green apples, sugar, wood, vanilla and a drier alcoholic finish. OK, too alcoholic for my liking.

Bottle. Aroma is nice woody with pronounced coconut. Apples rather in the background. Clear yellow colour. Taste is sweet with light background wood, pleasant refreshing touch of sourness. Coconut finish. Extremely well balanced, extremely tasty, extremely drinkable.

On cask at the Bow Bar. Appearance - some head. The top third of the glass has a haze. Nose - dried fruit such as orange maybe some fruit. Taste - as Neil says it just tastes like fresh apple juice. Palate - medium bodied with a big tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - better than I expected.
