A brandy distilled from our own apples and matured for 3 years in oak. It has a delicate balance of fresh apple flavours and creamy oak spice that can be enjoyed as a brisk shot or as a versatile ingredient for a mixed drink.

Somerset Cider Brandy is England’s original apple brandy. In 1989, we became the first ever fully licensed brandy distillery in the UK, marking the start of the modern British craft distilling movement. We are also the first English spirit to be awarded a PGI, and we are proudly carbon negative.

‘Scrumptious’ ‘A gratifyingly versatile blend of apple juice and Somerset Cider Brandy.’ The Daily Telegraph

“On the nose: Really clean and fresh. Red apple juice, heather honey, a light touch of caramel. Orange zest and copper pennies. Very nicely married with the spirit – nothing harsh whatsoever. In the mouth: Pristine again, and what this has that pommeau often tends not to is a lovely fresh brightness of acidity that just pierces the sweetness and lifts everything up. Apple and golden raisin. Mango slices and Dundee cake. Just such a drinkable and fresh take on this style and again the weighting of juice and spirit is delightful.” Malt Review
