Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 24/06/22. Clear deep golden to copper with a white cap that soon vanishes. Nose is dusty apples, oak, vinous, smoke, subtle peated whisky. Taste comprises apple, tannins, caramel, light smoke, barnyard notes, apple core. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Solid flavoursome BA cider ... good balance ... the peated effect doesn't dominate.
