Tuoksu: Uskomatonta, että tässä on 8%, mutta tuoksu ei tuo sitä millään tavalla esille. Kevyesti omenaa ja vielä kevyemmin brandya. Maanläheinen. ---- Maku: Täällä niitä prosentteja sitten on, mitä tuoksusta ei löytynyt. Ei tää mikään vahva ole, mutta kyllä tuo voima tuntuu. Pyöreähkö, sherryinen ja kirpsakan omenainen. Miellyttävä nautiskelujuoma, mikä rupeaa poskia lämmittämään loppupuolella. Mukava kuivuus.

Surprise delivery from Pint Please again! This time Irish and English products. Thanks a bunch, dudes! 🙏🏻🍺 This cider is from 🇮🇪. The cider clocks as strong as 8%. The fermentation has taken place in oak Apple Brandy casks. Sounds interesting! The box actually contained two of these. The cider looks surprisingly dark, medium-brown tea-like actually, and fully translucent. A red hue can't be missed. Carbonation doesn't really shoot to the space but unleashes a minuscule-bubbled haze layer that dies rushedly away. I raise the glass close to my nose. Apple is dry and slightly sour, like mash with pieces of peel. Brandy spreads its boozy nuance with a distinct oak barrel twist. I'm not sure if I'm also getting a hint of vanilla in the olfactory package or if I'm only dreaming of it. The taste is significantly drying. Somewhat sour apple is like winter apple with loads of peel. Quite natural though. Brandy is recognizable although a tad introvert while oak barrel is coarse. A moderately boozy tang leaves a warning sensation on the taste receptors. No vanilla in the palate. The finish is harsher than upfront, really peel-like. A coarse oaky twist gives its treatment to the tastebuds. The aftertaste brushes its teeth for the whole evening. The mouthfeel is dry, natural, husky, modestly woody and barrel aged. It's faintly alcoholic, warming and absolutely strongly drying. Also mouthcoating. The label looks luxurious: black and gold tango always beautifully. A good amount of information mainly on the backside. I could imagine buying this because the bottle looks so classy. This is certainly a divisive cider. And somewhat challenging because of brandy cask. I 🤎 the fact that this stands out of the crowd. It avoids the beaten track. I would still appreciate more complexity. Overall, intriguing. Thanks a lot, Longueville House! 🙏🏻

Something special as Saunadrink. Design of the Bottle gives you a high quality feeling and I would Buy the product based on the label. Aroma is strong and full, earthly and gives you countryside feeling. Taste is super full, sweet Apples, calvados, brandy and long lasting aftertaste. This cider is not for your average happy joe drinker but I like it a lot. Good package Where the drink and design goes well together.
