SELECTED BURROW HILL PRESS
“ The Somerset Cider Brandy Company ferments and bottles all its products on site, using 75 per cent recycled glass in its bottles. As a result, the entire process, from planting saplings to selling the product at the farm gate, has a remarkably low environmental impact.
The company’s sustainability efforts were recognised this year at the Golden Fork Awards, the annual awards ceremony for The Guild of Fine Foods. The Somerset Cider Brandy Company won the Golden Fork Award for Better Business, celebrating the Temperley family’s work protecting the farm and the environment over generations. ”

“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.”
“The man behind Burrow Hill Cider also pioneered Somerset Cider Brandy. Over the past three decades Julian Temperley has done more than anyone else in Britain to develop classy drinks from homegrown apple juice.’”

“Somerset Cider Brandy doesn’t have the same wonkish, obsessive discipleship as single malt; it isn’t subject to the same online nerdiness and clamouring. It is, for now, whatever its makers want it to be. And of course, indisputably, it is the best in its class.”
