Somerset 10 Year Cider Brandy 42% (20 year old 1st fill Oloroso cask)

Nose: Farmyard, cloves, wet hay. cedar planks, pollen, danish pastry, super subtle orange marmalade on toast.

Palate: Oak and apple leather. Cigar box. Cocoa nibs. Farmy and funky, oxidized. Has a chicken marsala vibe (the sauce, not the chicken). Nice layer of sherry undertones that nicely play with the apple.

Rating: 5 (Ryan) 6 (Shane) / 10
