Shipwreck Single
Cask Ten Year Old Cider Brandy
50cl (42%) - £28.00
Many will recall seeing barrels floating ashore at
Branscombe on their televisions. We obtained, with
permission of the Receiver of Wrecks, some superb barrels
which were on their way to South Africa for filling with
their best wines. They arrived on the beach in containers
protected from sea water by Bibles in Zulu and they have
added a sophisticated oak finish to the brandy. Allier oak
is subtle and we are very pleased with the effect. |

she said. |

Cider Vinegar
Full bodied unpasteurised cider vinegar ideal for cooking
and salad dressing- £2.50
In the past many health claims were made for cider vinegar.
A spoonful of honey and a shot of vinegar with a bit of warm
water makes a healthy nightcap.
In time the vinegar might drop a deposit. This shows that it
is unpasteurised and is considered a good thing. |
