The cider, apple and orchard traditions of Somerset have been legendary for generations and this brandy represents the culmination of this knowledge. Rich, mellow and smooth. Aged for a minimum of 20 years in small oak barrels.The progression in age is reflected in a fascinating development of flavour and complexity. From fresher, honeysuckle florality at 5 years old; deepening to nutty, prune-like and spicy notes as it ages to a full decade; reaching a mellow and velvety crescendo at 20 years old with baked apples, nutmeg and an exotic woody character.Too good to mix with anything else. Drink it at room temperature and dream of Somerset orchards decades ago.50cl, 42% abv.“The apples are back in force, like ghosts returning to a spirit fire; concentrated, dense and warming.” Financial Times “I must confess the product is very good, a most respectable cousin to AOC Calvados, reminding us that for a period of time, Normandy and Britain were ruled by the same kings" Christian Drouin in The Art Of Calvados 2024.
