Cider 103 - Thatcher’s Vintage


Came across this in the supermarket earlier this week and just could not resist it. Produced using a number of different apple types picked in the same year this one dates to 2006.

Very appley tasting with just a hint of sparkle it proved a grand accompaniment to last night’s curry and coming in a 750 ml bottle there was more than enough of it. One last thing, at 7.4% abv this is not a cider to be quaffed swiftly - even though the taste does not reveal the underlying strength.

For dog lovers everywhere I came across this crazy photo at a silly site today, clink on the link underneath it if you want more.

Sooo ... you discovered our secret to doing the dishes while the water pipes are frozen, have you? Please keep this to yourself.

Oh how I love a cider with a stout heart.

Very glad to hear that dba cottage is up on stilts for your current bout of weather!

Lin, Your secret is safe with me, allegedly we might get to see the sun on Tuesday but I am not banking on it.
