What do you do when your Eureka! moment is drinking Yarlington Mill, and you're about to make a special blend with Ross on Wye for your cider loving pub and perry adoring bottle shop in Durham? You stick with what you love. Here's our tribute to Yarlington Mill: a blend of three different barrels, part fermented in Kentucky oak casks, and bottle conditioned. Vanilla, brown sugar, ripe apple, chasimatic tannins.
When we decided to blend a collaboration cider with our friends at Ross on Wye and our sister pub The Station House, we assumed we'd have a variety of different apples.
We quickly found a batch of Yarlington Mill which we knew had to be in the blend. After three days of tasting and blending and never quite being happy, we finally came up with the perfect blend - three barrels of our favourite apple, including that first batch of Yarly that we tried. Blending them together brings out all the joyful, playful spiciness and rich fruit of the Yarlington Mill.
