Equal blend of Bramley, Braeburn, Jonagold and Golden's, the apples were pressed and the juices blended before heading to a single Bourbon barrel. A long slow ferment took place over winter and into spring when it was bottled without filtration or any sulphur added.

Sample, thanks to danlo. Hazed yellow appearance. Bourbon dominates the nose, with some woody vanilla. Overall character presents interesting wild bourbon notes, with some dry floral elements, woody oak, vanilla, caramel with some underlying apple fruit. Interesting.

4/2/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours cloudy yellow gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of bourbon, semi-sweet apples, wood, citrus. Light sweetness and medium sour. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Dry, light tart, woody bourbon finish. Not particularly keen on the bourbon in this one.

750ml bottle from Beer Zoo. Slightly hazy yellow colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of apple, woody barrel, bourbon, oak, vanilla. Taste is fruity, apple, fleshy, apple core, citric, with bourbon, oak, woody, vanilla and formic hints. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying citric finish. Nicely drinkable.
