This cider, which is made from top quality apples, has been allowed to mature in old oak vats for up to six months and then specially selected for Henry Weston, great-grandson of the founder, as the very best of the year's vintages.

Golden with distinct notes of oak and apple in both aroma and flavour, I also find notes of horse blanket, a smooth sweetness and a dry finish. 1996

Bottle, bought @ Øltorvet.dk. Pours quite golden with a little head on the pour - disappears immediately. Lots of bubbles breaking the surface. Aroma is sweet with lots of red apples, a great dose of sourish oakiness. Mouthfeel is flatter than expected with a nice oily feel at first. Flavour masquarades the alcohol very well. Sweet and sticky apples at first, with a great dryness. The oak appears as a great tarty finish. A good cider, but it is very powerful, tart and dry.

Comments: The usual sweet and sour Weston approach. Middle of the road, even for that cider house.

Bottled, Pale straw. Soft rounded easy drinking cider, not over fizzed. Fruity and acidic at the same time, reasonable but a little too processed.

A hardcore cider. Even though it’s very alcoholic it’s quite refreshing. You can taste that this is a high quality cider.
