More about Somerset Cider Brandy Shipwreck... when the Napoli grounded she was carrying empty wine barrels from France bound for vineyards in South Africa. Making wine barrels, coopering, is a job for experts and choosing the right wood is critical. As it happens these barrels were made from oak grown in the Alliers forest which was established 200 years ago by Napoleon Bonaparte to provide timber for ship-building.  A barrel made of Alliers oak will set you back about $US600 to $800, so when Julian Temperley of Somerset Distillery saw a few floating ashore at Branscombe Bay on TV they got his attention. As it happens, some containers floated ashore without the barrels being damaged by seawater because they were packed around with Zulu-language Bibles.They arrived on the beach in containers protected from seawater by bibles in Zulu, and they have added a sophisticated oak finish. Allier oak is subtle and Julian Templeby, creater of the superb Somerset Cider Brandys is very pleased with the effect. This is a lovely Brandy, and with a story stretching from Napoleon’s shipbuilders to 21st century containerships by way of Zulu Bibles, makes a great gift.
