This limited release is something you need to try. Willie Smith's Cider Makers Limited Release Whisky Aged Cider 2016. It's aged in Sullivans Cove Whisky barrels.
http://www.realciderreviews.com/…/willie-smiths-whisky-aged/

This is Willie Smith's Whisky Aged Cider. I often talk about a sense of place with a cider. Apples reflect the soil they're rooted in. Vintages reflect the season. A simple glass of cider can be a lesson in everything from meteorology to geography and even history.

Time for a perry Henry of Harcourt Gylden Paere. Read the review for this fine drop now.
http://www.realciderreviews.com/…/henry-of-harcourt-gylden…/

Cider made from traditional cider apples is pretty rare. An Aussie perry from perry pears is a about as rare as a full set of teeth at a ice hockey match. Henry's of Harcourt have pulled out a perry made fromreal perry pears and called it the "Gylden Paere".

I've just reviewed Willie Smith's Cider Makers newly release Kingston Black single variety cider. This is probably my favourite cider apple. So what's it like? http://www.realciderreviews.com/…/willie-smiths-kingston-b…/

Lately the lads down at Willie Smith's have been doing a run of limited releases. Finally they have done a single variety cider of my favourite apple - introducing the Willie Smith's Kingston Black 2017.

Little Fat Lamb Alcoholic Hard Apple... no it's not a cider. It doesn't use the word anywhere on the bottle. They were careful about that. The marketing department blur the lines and the retailers straight up chuck it in the cider fridge.

This week I'm trying South Africa's most well know cider, Savanna Dry http://www.realciderreviews.com/south-african/savanna-dry/

Savanna dry is South Africa's best known cider. Labelled as a premium cider, it's made in the tip of the continent and exported world wide. Does such an ambitious feat from a relative small cider producing nation mean that the quality has been sacrificed?

Gwynt y Ddraig is Welsh for the Dragons Wind. A small cider maker in southern Wales. It started out as a hobby and grew into a business. This cider is the one that got them on the map. Gwynt y Ddraig's Gold Medal Cider as the name suggests, was their first cider to get a gong.

Big review this week. Not 1 but 5 ciders. Henry of Harcourt have a range of single variety ciders. Check out the comparison video. http://www.realciderreviews.com/…/henrys-of-harcourt-singl…/

Henry of Harcourt is a bit of a rare breed of cider makers. Every year they make a series of ciders only made from one type of apple in each. This gives cider fans a chance to isolate an individual apple flavour removing variables like terroir and seasonality of these single variety ciders.

This weeks review is Wilce's Cider from Herefordshire in the UK. This is a very tasty dry cider.

Wilce's have been making cider in Herefordshire for 6 generations. It's only been the most recent generation that have been willing to sell it and not just drink it all themselves. Wilce's Dry Cider is one of 4 varieties that now escape the farm.
