Description
Fowey Valley, makers of a range of exquisitely crafted fine spirits and ciders.

What makes us so different? How we do it!

Once upon a time the Fowey valley was bedecked with blossom. The Victorians would take special boat trips just to marvel at the blooming. Today Fowey Valley are one the few orchards left. We keep busy upholding the tradition of cidermaking in the valley and producing award winning spirits. All our ciders are made solely from fresh West Country apples and our spirits are all created from scratch- none of the usual industrial alcohol.

750ml bottle. Pours pale green gold with high carbonation. Aroma is dry apple, with some porridge and pasta. Which I know sounds odd. Taste has dry apple throughout, with the porridge notes and apple skins on the finish.
