Tomas Watkins Taffy Apple Cider

[Niigata Jack]

Love it occasionally, been boiling today and I suddenly fancied a few so asked her indoors if she could get me a couple of bottles, they're sitting in the fridge chilling now.

Anyone else enjoy Taffy Apple Cider ?

No.
My 'go to' drink in the heat here is gin & tonic. A goldfish bowl glass, generous dash of gin, two massive ice cubes, slice of lemon from freezer and whole can of Lidl tonic from the fridge.
Have been experimenting with Lidl's strawberry gin lately, accompanied by strawberry tonic and sliced strawberry. Luverly.

Gwynt y Ddraig from Llantwit Fardre make excellent cider. Black Dragon sold in Tesco and even better the oak-aged Old Crow. Dunkerton’s Black Fox excellent too. Quite enjoy Weston’s Vintage too. The milk of amnesia.

Now cider is a drink of the west- Asturias and Gallicia, Brittany and Normandy and mainly so in the Uk.

I very much like proper French ciders.
Some years ago we had a week in a gite attached to a Breton farmhouse. The old boy who owned the place sat me, the wife and our then toddler down for a cold drink when we arrived. I went for the home brewed cider. An.
hour later my body was in Brittany but my mind on the moon. He gave me another bottle later in the week.
Same effect. Gorgeous stuff but absolutely lethal

Very nice cider. Many good out there too:
Aspells
Savannah Dry
Stowfords
Inches
Henry Weston Vintage 8.2% (yikes)

Will never drink as ale, bitter or beer. Awful
