Cider Review – Distillery Lane – The Jefferson
The first thing that is evident is the mouthfeel. The full-bodied, semi dry and I mean full-bodied cider coats the tongue and sits their waiting. It has an oily texture and just feels amazing. The Jefferson is in no hurry to leave, which gives you time to really assess the flavor. Like the nose, fruit takes center stage, primarily light apple, pear and white grapes without the acidity. The tannins are subdued and therefore creates an easy drinking experience. This must be their flagship. For an off dry cider, The Jefferson has just enough residual sweetness to satisfy the dry heads. READ MORE
Cider Review: Slyboro Cider’s Old Sin
Slyboro Cider makes cider in Granville, New York. They use apples from their own property, Hicks Orchard. Their website is attractive and reasonably informative, giving info about cider in general, the brand’s different offerings, places to buy the cider, and their appearances in print and digital media. I notice the beautiful photography they used; I’m a complete sucker for good photos. READ MORE
Review: Traditional Thistly Cross Cider
Orgle was in the states when I was doing my intense five month job. This is a cider he brought back for me.
Size: 500mL glass bottle
Strength: 6.2% ABV
From: Scotland
Company Description: I’m able to find a description for the Traditional cider, but it is listed as 4.2% ABV. So maybe their export cider is different? READ MORE
