Somerset Royal Cider Brandy, made from apples at Julian Temperley's (a Rick Stein 'Food Hero') famous Burrow Hill Orchards. The 5 year old Somerset Royal Cider Brandy has lost some of the apple of Somerset Royal but is smoother and far more complex with a velvety palate and a sweet spicy aftertaste. It is very much an after dinner brandy and certainly our flagship for restaurants.

Serve
This release has a complex profile of oaky apples, with an intriguing spicy aftertaste. Try this as an after dinner digestif.
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.
