Somerset Royal Cider Brandy, made from apples at Julian Temperley's (a Rick Stein 'Food Hero') famous Burrow Hill Orchards. The Ten year old Somerset Royal Cider Brandy is complex with a Christmas pudding richness, full of subtle bouquets and aromas. One needs to take time to appreciate the harmony of flavours.
Key Flavours
Dried Fruit
Oak
Serve
With such a long time spent maturing in oak, the fruitiness of the apple gains complex dried fruit notes (reminiscent of a Christmas pudding). There's a lovely richness too, full of subtleties.
Process
Distilling takes place in an old copper still over the winter months. It takes around eleven litres of cider to make just one litre of spirit. Once made it is then rested in a variety of casks.
People
For thirty years Julian Temperley has been reviving the ancient art of Cider Brandy production in the UK. In 1989, his pioneering spirit led to HM customs granting the UK’s first ever full cider distilling license.
Place
The Somerset Cider Brandy distillery sits within 180 acres of orchards at the base of Burrow Hill, Somerset. The farm has been pressing cider there for over 200 years. Each bottle can be traced back to its source orchard.
