75 bottle @ Healeys Cider Farm, Cornwall. Matured in Jack Daniels casks. Pours deep amber with a light boozy aroma. Well-integrated bourbon sweetness, merging with a rich golden cider flavour. Possibly the pick of the Classic Reserves.

Bottle at Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm. Dark amber. There’s autumn fruits, oak, a little cough mixture and a slight sourness. A very interesting cider, and certainly the most flavoursome of the Healeys special editions that I tried, yet still not worth the £15 per bottle it would have cost me to buy instead of try.
