Somerset Cider Brandy 3yrs old . The first written records of Cider Brandy go back to 1678. Recently however there has been a revival of interest, led principally by the Somerset Cider Brandy Company which in 1989 was granted by HM Customs, the first full cider distilling licence in recorded history. Their Cider Brandy evokes all the magic and mystery of the West Country's proud cidermaking and apple growing traditions. In the Autumn, vintage cider apples are gathered, pressed and fermented in huge oak vats. After three months the cider is distilled and clear spirit known as Eau de Vie, or the 'water of life' is drawn off into barrels. In the barrels the spirit slowly gains colour from the oak whilst a small amount is lost through the wood- 'the angels share'. After mellowing and maturing for several years it becomes a deliciously smooth Cider Brandy
