Oliver's - Vintage 2022 (750ml, case of 6) 9.5%
Oliver's Vintage Fine Cider is a cider blended from the best barrels from the 2021 harvest. This iteration is first vintage, using the more briny, vanilla oak Irish whiskey barrels. The charring of the oak barrel, the oak itself & the acidity bring a very different character to this cider. However, one thing remains the same, as it warms in the glass, so the flavours develop in the mouth. This is a memorable, engaging, dry, still cider.
This burnished amber cider is gentle on the nose, aromas of brine & oak, vanilla & apple. We recommend you serve it at rom temperature, even open it up in a carafe; it will change to more plum pudding & dry sherry notes. Texture & flavour is intense, drying & complex.
