Five year old cask strength cider brandy - 500ml
Introducing our very small batch cask strength 59% ABV Five Year Aged Cider Brandy. It’s only a very small run to see how much interest there is. So, it is first come first served! Our Cider Brandy is handcrafted at our cidery in Lostwithiel, a beautifully idyllic and historical town in Cornwall. At Fowey Valley, we only use fresh apples from our own Cornish orchard and others close by, and absolutely nothing else.
We produce this spirit by making 7% cider, then double distilling it. It's then laid down in new, small, medium toasted, European Oak barrels for more than five years at around 65% ABV. Over the years the ‘Angels Share’ takes about 5% a year - OF THE ALCOHOL! So it’s ended up at 59% now. After being aged in oak, it really comes into its own. This is where it becomes what, in France, would be termed Calvados but here it is called Cider Brandy and it's one of our most popular spirits.
Our chief taster Geraldine describes it as: “Golden-amber in colour with dark chocolate and toffee on the nose. On the palate, caramel and a hint of liquorice and pepper. A long warm finish. Our after-dinner Brandy.”
We recommend to serve it with a little water to ‘loosen it’. We only have a very small number of these bottles available and once they're gone, they're gone!
Presented in 500ml bottles with an ABV of 59%. Hurry, there's only 25 bottles availlable.
