Sample courtesy of minutemat, cheers Mat! Deep golden colour, bubbly white foam head that quickly dissipates away and aroma of ripe apple, fruity, barrel hint. Taste is sweet, apple, ripe fruit, with a caramel note, some whisky barrel hints, vanilla, orangey citric and light tannins. Medium bodied, low carbonation, medium dry slightly tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.

75cl bottle from Ludlow Farm Shop. Pours darker than their other standard sparkling cider, with less vanillery whisky notes so I sense other barrels were used. Mild caramelised fruit warmth, moderately sparkling, subtle tannin. Decent overall, no spicy 'festive' elements.

75cl bottle from Appleyards, Shrewsbury. Hazed gold appearance, fine spritz, pleasant fruity aroma, very lightly stewed apple with distant almond and vanilla oak notes, a green apple linger with light tannic fuzz. Very nice indeed.

75cl bottle. Clear golden yellow appearance. Oaky vanilla hints to the aroma. Lovely smokey woody whisky suggestions as per the box I trued 2 years ago, some vanilla oak, natural fruit, lovely carbonation. Very good. Great to see cider being made locally in the Shropshire Hills.

22/4/2021. Bottle sample courtesy of minutemat, cheers! Pours clear golden with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is woody, peaty, rich apple, caramel. Medium sweetness and light tartness, with lots of peat to taste. Medium body, average carbonation. Peat is dominant and I’m not a peat fan so this one didn’t do much for me.
