SOMERSET CIDER BRANDY SHIPWRECK 50CL 44%

To make their lip-smacking spirit, the Somerset Cider Brandy Co. distil cider in a Coffey still, similar to how Calvados is made. This particular batch, however, has a bit more of a story to it, as the 10 year old brandy was finished in Allier oak barrels from the same cooperage as the ones that luckily survived the beaching of MSC Napoli in 2007, Iin nearby Branscombe, Devon, hence the name Shipwreck.

How to enjoy Shipwreck Cider Brandy? A complex cider brandy, enjoy it as a digestif and alongside one of our cheese boards,  featuring strong cheeses like Stilton. Its ideal when paired with apple-based desserts like an apple tart with cream or vanilla ice cream, or even with nuts and dried fruits to complement its nutty, toffee notes. It also pairs well with dishes like roast pork with apples or poultry and Pheasant with a creamy mushroom sauce. 

This is the eight-year-old edition and is a delicious English alternative to Calvados.
