Tasting Note:
Complex with a velvety palate and intriguing spicy aftertaste. The nose is fruity, sweet and floral, like spring in the orchards. There is honeysuckle, apple blossom and hawthorn. The taste is full of apple, with delicate white flowers and a clean lingering fruit finish. This brandy has gained depth, smoothness and stature. With its complexity, velvety palate and intriguing spicy aftertaste it is a candidate for after dinner.
Background Information:
For over thirty years Julian Temperley and The Somerset Cider Brandy Company have been reviving the ancient art of Cider Brandy production in the UK. In 1989 his pioneering spirit led to HM customs granting the UK’s first ever full cider-distilling license.
Half of our cider is set aside for distilling in Josephine and Fifi, our copper stills. The resulting clear spirit, known as Eau de Vie or ‘water of life’ is trickled into small oak casks to mature into brandy. We bottle Somerset Cider Brandy after maturing it in small oak barrels for 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years. Each bottle can be traced back to its source orchard. In addition we make award-winning liqueurs including Somerset Kingston Black Aperitif and Somerset Pomona. Somerset Cider Brandy is currently the only English Spirit to be protected by a PGI.
