Since the 12th century, orchards scattered with juicy apples, were a popular sight in Scotland. Globalisation and lower transport costs lead to cheaper imports from overseas and the orchards were lost. We’re looking to reverse this process, one sip at a time and restore a traditional part of our much-loved heritage and countryside.
Our mission is to bring Scotland’s orchards back, one sip of cider at a time.

Bottle from lowcostbeer.com. Clear purple with some brief bubbles. This one was a decent dark berry cider - not too sweet and with a good fruitiness. A little tart, slightly syrupy in mouthfeel but other than that quite decent.

Bottle on the ferry to Orkney. It pours clear very pal greenish - gold with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is sweet, sugary, apple skin, apple skin, nutty, dull farmyard and some apple crumble. The taste is sweet - sour upfront, quite crisp, white sugar, fizzy candy, apple skin, green apple, white grape, very dull funk in the backdrop and a touch of pucker. Finish is fairly dry. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Fairly straightforward, but better than macro cider options for sure.

Nose is apple pulp, light sugars, tannins, orchard wood. Taste comprises bitter sweet apples, vinous trace, sugars, apple skin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Ok cider.
