The pair of “Still” drinks was the idea of Michael Kaiser from Good Beer Hunting. It was to encapsulate the feeling of stillness and solitude that emerged during lockdown and to represent that in terms of 2 drinks that had been “in barrel” during that period.
The “Still” Cider was a blend of mid season cider apples with a little more acidity from Brown’s apple meshing with the Somerset Redstreak, Stoke Red and Yarlington Mill. Obviously in an Old Islay whisky barrel, the peaty qualities mesh well with the fresh fruity character of the cider. Think ripe green apple with fruity acidity and peat and oak.
