Somerset 20 year old

£100.00

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 (50cl, 42% abv). Too good to mix with anything else. Drink it at room temperature and dream of Somerset orchards decades ago.

“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.

  • It smells of baked apples and figs with a hint of hazelnut, nutmeg and exotic wood. It feels velvety, mellow, soft and warming.

    A gorgeously rich and nutty spirit.

  • Apples, spring water.

    “The Brandy is simply divine. The 10 and 20 year old Brandy is highly recommended.” - Mark Ward, customer

    “The aroma is enticing, showcasing ripe orchard fruit intertwined with spicy oak. On the palate, there is a delightful weight where honeyed impressions of stewed apples and fresh pear emerge, balanced by a gentle oak presence. The finish lingers with a refined complexity, leaving a warm, fruity essence that invites another sip.” - IWSC
