Somerset 5 year old 50cl

£35.00

Oak-aged Somerset Cider Brandy 5 year old (50 cl, 42%)

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.

“Burrow Hill Cider also pioneered Somerset Cider Brandy. Over the past three decades they have done more than anyone else in Britain to develop classy drinks from homegrown apple juice.“ The Financial Times
