Thistly Cross Gold
4.0% / East Lothian, Scotland / 500ml / £5.25

For centuries, rum was the common currency of the empire, and it was the rum barrel which was employed to mature cider in.  Rum proved to be very compatible with cider and imbued the drink with many characteristics, which, in time, have become considered a positive part of the tradition. In Scotland, the whisky cask is king and Thistly Cross are pleased to present their whisky and cider blend which is made by maturing the cider with whisky barrel chips.  Initially, a gentle whisky flavour intermingles with a subtle, medium dry cider.  This gives way to the distinctive full bodied flavour of the oak cask, with final finishing overtones of whisky.  This whisky cider offers all the flavour of the cask whilst keeping the light, fruity aspect of all the Thistly Cross ciders.

Thistly Cross Ginger
4.0% / East Lothian, Scotland / 500ml / £5.25
