3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Glass from a bottle at The cherry Tree Canterbury shared with Ang. Bright gold with no head. Some apple on the aroma. Quite sticky. Quite hot in moith. Some subtle whisky jotes. More like a grain whisky cask. Quite sweet and sticky. Finish has sweetish apples. But not unpleasant. Highland whisky orange notes. Quite impressive for the kick
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
I was quite surprised about this one. Dark orange coloured. It has an extremely woody character. Aroma is wood and leather. Strong and round finish. Woody aftertaste.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pale amber colour with a small of white head. Whisky and woody aroma with a light fruity note. Sweet berry fruity flavor with a light woody note.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Bottle) Clear amber, no head and quite flat.Fantastic and very intense aroma of whisky and fruit. Extreme fullness and a marked sweetness with the apple flavours lurking underneath - but they’re very downplayed. A very sophisticated "Grand Cru" cider. The King og ciders? 200106
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle.

Aroma of apples and whisky.
Sweet flavour of apples, whisky and wood.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Orange colour with no head. Fruity, whisky, alcohol aroma and a sweet fruity, whisky taste. Medium body with a sweet warming alcoholic finish. Cider is not my strong side, but this one is ok.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This cider caught me by surprise - inspite of knowing that it at matured in whisky cask - I had no idea, that the aroma would be so powerful and only of whisky - I imagined some apples in the aroma, but only whisky, so I was kicked back in the chair overwhelmed and not too satisfied - eventhough the whisky aroma is nice (for a whisky). The color is a dark orange and no surprise it has no head. The flavor is much more complex, than the aroma, since it has a really interesting combination of notes from the apples and the whisky, with some acidity from the apples as well as some woody notes from the cask, and a dry end. I would have like if the same combination of apples and whisky that is present in the flavor also was present in the aroma.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
This is a dark fuity cider, it fully packs 13% not a great spiritousness in it, but it tases wonderful. About £7 a wine bottle
4.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
This is a monster of a cider, but it does not taste like it. Apple is present slightly in the arome but more predominantly in the flavour, it does not taste like 5% let alone 13%, there is whisky on the nose (it is whisky casked) but this is not so apparent in the mouth. Give it a try but beware it is strong and expensive.
