Description
Our farm was established in 1855 in the townland of Ardress. Our cider takes its name from our Cider Maker, Greg Mac Neice’s grandmother Annie Mac Ivor. Annie, her husband Matt Mac Neice and their nine children had a passion for apple growing. Her son Sam and her grandson Greg continue that tradition, farming over 100 acres of prime Armagh orchard, packing and processing the apples grown and now making great craft cider too!

From tap at L. Mulligan Grocer, Dublin, 22.03.25. Clear pale straw colour. Aroma and taste of cider apples and apple peel. Good, but perhaps not very interesting.

Bottle from Hanbury Hall, National Trust, Droitwich. An unexpected surprise seeing this untried cider in their café fridge. Clear gold with small white fizzy to foamy top, lasts a minute leaving some swirls. Fruity apple juice and skin aroma with light leather. Taste has a light tart, fruity apple juice, citric zest, light leather. Very nice - a session cider with a lot more character than most.

Sampled from the tap at Woodworkers. Pours a clear purple with a ruby red hue and a bubbly pink head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has an interesting combination of tart black currant, mint and dry bitter apple. Flavor is similar with mint and dry bitter apple up front and some tart currant in the finish.
