Cask. Listed as 7.2% ABV. Pours a cloudy opaque yellow with a tiny white head. Tart apple and distinct whisky and wood in the nose. Medium body, extremely astringent apple accents - loads of tannins here. Extremely dry with some alcohol in the finish. The aroma is clearly the best feature about this cider. 220110

Bottled from bag in a box at Rare Breeds BF 08. The one I had said 7% but seems to be about the same. Islay cask style aroma. Peaty. Not my favourite as anyone on this site will know. I mean the base cider is fine, but I just donβt like Islay whisky. Nothing wrong with it, but for me, a drain pour.
