REVIEWS

Great Taste Awards 2023

“An unusual mix of juice and brandy makes this spirit quite unique. This is a very versatile drink which could be imbibed as an aperitif or digestif, before or after a meal. It could be drunk long with a soda or by itself with ice. Simply delicious.

An exquisite product of the highest order. The apple shines throughout with soft caramel notes which evoke the flavour of tarte tatin. We simply couldn't find fault with this product, or stop going back for more.

The Daily Telegraph

‘Scrumptious’ ‘A gratifyingly versatile blend of apple juice and Somerset Cider Brandy.’

Malt Review

“On the nose: Really clean and fresh. Red apple juice, heather honey, a light touch of caramel. Orange zest and copper pennies. Very nicely married with the spirit – nothing harsh whatsoever.

In the mouth: Pristine again, and what this has that pommeau often tends not to is a lovely fresh brightness of acidity that just pierces the sweetness and lifts everything up. Apple and golden raisin. Mango slices and Dundee cake. Just such a drinkable and fresh take on this style and again the weighting of juice and spirit is delightful.”

Crafty Nectar

“It pours a bright, burnished bronze and whilst still a little swirl reveals some pronounced ‘legs’. The aroma is sweet and aged, toffee apple and Christmas cake, but at the same time the acid in the Kingston Black juice lifts everything to give the impression of a light, freshness. In the mouth it is more of the same, the spices and sultanas from the Christmas cake almost seem to evaporate off the surface of the liquid and fill your nose from within. There’s no harshness or alcoholic note, just velvety, sweet goodness.”
