Spontaneously fermented plums, blended with naturally sweet keeved cider, matured in Islay barrels.
Sharp plum acidity is balanced by luscious keeved sweetness, whilst generous fruit is enhanced by smooth curls of warm smoke.

Panda at home, thanks to Ed Danlo, 04/02/24. Moderately hazed raspberry red with a faded crimson cap that veers edgewards. Nose is plummy, damson, herb, straw, light smoke, grains. Taste comprises red berry fruits, plums, herb, Islay notes, light bonfire edge, tannins. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close Solid complex kit ... up there with the very best in the flavoured cider world for me.
