Paying homage to Cornwall’s history of brandy famous smugglers, Pocketful of Stones have formed thier own motley crew of loveable rogues, including Skreach, Jonathan Gould, and Bearded Brewery, to bring you multiple variants of the Smugglers Reserve Cornish Cider Brandy.
After bootlegging the finest cider from around the county, they get to work double distilling in Jackson, the copper pot still.
The distillate is then left to mature in a variety of oak casks on the wild Cornish coast.
The result is a smooth modern take on this classic and much-loved spirit.
Nose: Loads of apples, as you might expect: sweet red, sharp green, boiled sweets, sweet sauce, and baked with nutmeg and lashings of brown sugar. ...
Palate: Spicy and surprisingly dry, with nutmeg and cinnamon diving into the apples from the nose. ...
Finish: Sour apple and apple peel with lingering soft spice.
