Dad brought back some more Sheppy’s from the West Country earlier in the year for me to drink over Christmas. Most of them were ones I’d tried previously this year, but one was new to me.
This cider is 7.4% vol and it tastes it! It actually tasted a little too strong for me. It’s still got that nice Sheppy’s flavour though.
Yes, it’s another Sheppy’s, but I promise this is the last one.
Sheppy’s Dabinett Apple is a bit like the Kingston Black variety I logged yesterday, except it has more of a medium taste. It also has a very spirit-y aftertaste, which was quite a nice surprise.
It’s another Sheppy’s cider, ’cause I was drinking them all in a row.
Apparently I forgot to take a photo of this one, but you can see what it looks like on the website!
The Kingston Black variety is very dry, but quite light-tasting despite the 6.5% strength.
This is another one that Dad brought me from the south-west.
This has a lovely comforting warm sweet taste, and is my favourite out of all the Sheppy’s ciders I’ve tried. When Mum and Dad went back to the south-west a couple of weeks ago, they asked if there was a particular variety I wanted, and this is the one I chose! I’ve not checked yet if they managed to find it, but I hope they did ’cause it would make a lovely Christmas drink this winter.
On visiting my parents’ house recently, I found that Dad had collected a whole load of different Sheppy’s ciders while on a trip to the West Country. Expect to see lots of them reviewed here over the next few weeks!
Sheppy’s Classic Draught has what I would consider a perfect medium taste. It’s also very refreshing without being too watery-tasting – absolutely perfect for summer.
