Powerful Tannins
Oomph Oak Cask
Incomparable
The biggest single variety Flakey Bark yet. In the words of the world’s best perry writer, Adam Wells, Flakey Bark ‘insists itself upon you’, and a more apt description of this magnificent pear there is not. A thunderous flavour – full of glorious syrup and ripe pear, leading into complex, punchy, astringent tannins. This is an astounding, contradictory perry. Dry yet sweet, fruity yet earthy, smooth yet grippy. With the addition of maturation in the most beautiful oak barrel, this is a truly remarkable drink.
