Kiinnostava (osittain) viskitynnyrikäynyttä siideriä laatutuottajalta. Makeus, tanniinit, viski ja tynnyrin aromit herkullisesti tasapainossa. Herkkua sellaisenaan, mutta sopi hyvin myöd tarjolla olleen kanatortillan pariin.

Harvemmin tulee Suomessa vastaan laadukasta siideriä kvittenillä ja kvitten tähän tuokin oman persoonallisen makunsa. Selkeän tanniininen ja hapokaskin. Makeutta taas vähemmän kuin Piltonin keevatulta siideriltä odotin (ja ehkä toivoin) mutta tasapainoinen laatutuote yhtäkaikki.

Islay barrel-aged Cider. Pretty neat.

750ml clear glass; pours crystal clear ruby red, almost glowing, gentle carbonation; on the nose indulgent fruity cherries and hints of citrus, with funky ghosts of Brett in the background; in the mouth zippy and fruity, cherries, limes and caramel apples, vanilla and stewed applesauce and dry astringent dark black cherry notes; overall a beautiful example of a co-ferment: unmistakably Pilton and very very morish!

750ml clear glass; pours a dark red almost glowing, clear, gentle carbonation; on the nose it’s wild and bretty whilst equally dripping with fresh sweet cherries and berries with ghosts of barnyard funk, but delicate and soft; in the mouth it’s gentle and sweet but equally dry and grippy, generous texture underlines the caramel and cooked apple notes, velvety dryness invite to a grippy astringent finish; lingering grape notes and vinous aftertaste; overall surprising and reliable, fresh and funky, calm and inviting - definitely my favourite out of the “In Touch“ series: on one hand almost too astringent, but in the other hand perfectly recalled and balanced with the residual sweetness - sweet - dry - sweet: highly recommended!
