A fruity keeved cider, partially fermented in oak barrels.

Keeving and initial fermentation takes place in large vats but on Burns Night the young cider is transferred to Scotch whisky barrels to finish and mature.

Medium sweet with smokey vanilla tannin and an oaky finish, Tamoshanta is great served chilled with Somerset Cheddar.

Bottle pour at The Cider House - Borough Market, pours a clear bronze with a small white head. Aroma brings out a nice funky farmhouse character, crisp apple skins, and light mustiness. Flavour is medium sweet, with musty stewed apple, light farmhouse notes, and gentle toffee apple. Crisp but modestly sweet finish. Not as funky as it could be but it's well-made.

Devine ba. Wouldn't be able to place the whisky but it isn't a peaty one but light like Oban. Some glorious caramelisation. Oak. Wood. Pears. Dry tartness. Moderately puckering. Champagne perry. Stunning.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Somewhat winey apple smell mixed with comforting bubble bath. nice fizz. You do really get the whisky in the immediate aftermath of a sip, mixed with sticky apple. Yummy.
