Recently, however, there has been a revival of interest, led principally by the Somerset Cider Brandy Company, which in 1989 was granted by HM Customs the first full cider distilling licence in recorded history.  Somerset Cider Brandy evokes all the magic and mystery of the West Country's proud cider making and apple growing tradition.The art of blending different types of fruit is key to the craft of cider making and distilling. At Burrow Hill, this is the responsibility of Tim Stoddart and Julian Temperley who between them have over 50 years experience of making cider.

Not to be missed are Somerset Cider Brandys Martock Cherries in Eau-Di-Vie, a gastronomic delight, and the "Hix Fix", both available here at The Cheese and Wine Shop.
