Sample thanks to danlo. Pours a dull hazed amber, eager effervescence. Strong spiced aroma. Very spicy flavour profile, flavoursome mulled spices, strong cinnamon presence, orange peel, lemon all coming through well, some funky moments, soft tannins. Pretty decent mulled cider.

1 litre flagon from Crackington Cider. Clear amber orange appearance. Gently sweety, honeyed cider aroma. Quite a smooth, mellow cider character, in line with Crackington's other ciders, with a crescendo of whisky emerging. Some integrated caramel and honey notes. Light tannic presence. Drinks very well for the strength.
