750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma has some smokiness to it, crisp apple skins, and a touch of farmhouse notes. Flavour has plenty of smoke, great farmhouse notes, crisp apple skins, and some mustiness. Great smokiness, close to bone dry, fantastic farmhouse complexity. Excellent.

Pale amber, and hazy. There's a nice apple complexity to this, along with honey notes. Smells earthy, smokey, pedio. Drinks dry, smokey, feels like a bit of sugar. Not a lot of pedio, just a touch, but that smoke and complexity is great.

750mL bottle. Pours hazy dull gold. Musty apple skins, manure, and a kind of smoky character on the nose. Flavour has lots of musty manure, smoky straw, bone dry finish. Fantastic complexity, and the smokiness is lovely. Excellent cider.

750ml bottle from Fine Cider Co. for #rgpm. Sparkling, bronzey golden colour, short-lived white foamy head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of rich perry pear, fruit, caramel, vanilla, funk. Taste is sweet, ripe & juicy perry pear, fleshy fruity, alittle core, with caramel, leathery funk, woody, orchardy, some zingy citrusy acidity and drying tannin. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, lingering sweet & drying peary finish. Nicely drinkable.

Great stuff. Impressive in its balance, elegance and simplicity. Not overly showy in any respect but it has nice softly sweet pear, low funk, mild boozy kick, a little cobweb dryness, low acidity. Soft pale wood, a vanilla accent. No signs of age, really. Superb stuff. Massively drinkable. Dangerously so.

Incredible! A perry made in autumn 2001, aged for a winter in whiskey barrels, and then bottled the next spring with a secondary fermentation. Then left in a barn for a couple decades. Such a beautiful musty pear expression, and brilliant whiskey subtlety
