    I'm originally from Somerset. My grandfather used to make proper country cider from his orchard. It was a still cider, dry and quite sour on the tongue, but it packed a punch. A bit like drinking pints of white wine but in gulps not sips. As kids my father always had a 5 gallon barrel in the corner of the kitchen which us kids could help ourselves to when we wanted (10yrs +). Every local country pub had a local 'rough' cider and if you were not used to it, just a couple of pints could knock you out.
    Drinking cider should always need some food to go with it, hence the ploughmans' lunch. Although, it was really just bread and cheese back in the farm hand's day. The farm hand payment was part made in cider by the farmer. Keep the workforce drunk and happy and don't worry about the health and safety around farm machinery.
    Regular rough cider drinkers could never trust a fart.
    To be honest, the old farmhouse 'scrumpy' cider is too harsh for the majority of people so all these carbonated and fruity ciders have been created to appeal to the normal people of the rest of the world.
    Now go search 'The Wurzels' - 'I am a cider drinker'.

      Sounds like it has quite the history here. I can understand why and how with the agriculture being such a big part of the country. I enjoy the more rough cider, if you will. But I can also understand why the larger companies went with carbonated and fruited. Thanks for the info. Cheers, Chris

    I'm a cider enthusiast from Devon. I make about 1000 litres a year. The west of England have cider apple varieties that are 'bitter-sweet' apples, containing tannin, that are not very much used elsewhere. The ciders can have an amber colour, because of the tannins. Not very much found elsewhere.

    As a traditionalist, I have to say that cider should only contain apples, other fruits have no place in there. These sorts of ciders are just a fad that has developed over the last few years to attract younger drinkers. Cider is like other foods and drinks, needing perseverance to develop a palate. I have drunk all sorts, from bottled cider (I hate to admit that) to rough cider purchased at the farm gate in gallon jars (a UK gallon is quite a bit larger than it's US equivalent UK gallon = 4.54 Litres, US =3.68L). There used to be quite a few cider houses (like pubs but only sold cider) near where I used to live, the cider was served from barrels behind the bar, and it was very strong, usually 8% to 12% - of course there had to be a designated driver as these establishments were usually deep in the country in out of the way places and sold locally produced cider.

      Sounds like a different time, but like it had quite a few good memories. There are all types of ciders, I do appreciate the original ones, just like beer and whiskey. Only what is supposed to go in it, but I also have grown to love the different aspects of adding the adjuncts, they can be over done, but when done right they are a very good product. Cheers, Chris

    The trouble with cider and especially scrumpy (homemade cider) is that it is often stronger than it tastes. It affects you differently such as you feel ok then get up to walk to the loo and only then realise your legs won't take instructions before you collapse in a heap😄

    in the 1980s I walked the Pennine Way, backpacking. One very warm day we passed a remote farm that was selling home made cider/scrumpy. We stopped to refresh ourselves - just one pint - which almost finished us for the day. The heat of the sun with this very potent cider just made us want to curl up in the shade and sleep!

    As a West Country yokel, most of the mainstream ciders are bland considered to small brewers.
    I live near the Somerset border and some small cider producers produce the best cider around.
    I was tree felling in Batheaston ( near Bath) when the client brought out some "Knee trembler" we drank it at lunchtime, a few pints, not much work was done in the afternoon........... it was about 14% abv iirc.
    The cider ( or cyder) was from ancient orchards that had been going for over 800 years, it was fantastic.
    They did a small cyder that was 3.5%, that was reminiscent of woodpecker cider too ❤️❤️
    Although its kinda funny Americans trying cider when their cider is just apple juice 😂

      @@DaydreamersBarn Commercially produced cider marketed as ‘Scrumpy’ ??? might be found in Supermarkets in your area. I’ve certainly seen it in Morrisons, but, I haven’t made a point of looking for it elsewhere, in Asda, Tesco etc. I’ve had ‘Real Scrumpy’ years ago while travelling through Somerset, bought from a farm where they produced it as a sideline. Farms usually had a sign posted by the roadside saying that they sold it, to attract customers. Presumably, that’s still the case today. The cider was very cloudy, very strong and at the time very cheap for a 5 pint container full. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the price, all things were cheaper back then!

    Yes, if you want to try whiskeys, PLEASE don't forget to include a few Irish whiskeys. They are somewhat different from scotch whiskys (like the spelling), as they use a process which reduces the "peaty" taste of scotch. Though less well known, they shouldn't be regarded as the poor neighbour of scotch whisky - you can pay huge sums for older and rare Irish whiskeys. My regular (and inexpensive) favourite is "Paddy" from Cork in the South - named many years ago after their most successful salesman! (Needless to say, I'm a fan).

    A nice varied selection there, the mixed fruit ones are a relatively new thing very popular these days especially with the young'uns. Scrumpy or rough cider is well worth trying if you see it. Traditionally it's made with just apples and water with nothing added so the type of apple used is the main influence on the final flavour. The west country particularly Somerset and Devon are well known for producing it. It can be very strong and usually not carbonated.

    The 2nd cider should be consumed with cheese, this will enhance the flavour of both the cheese and the cider. If you don't drink, you can get the same effect by eating a Granny Smiths' apple and a ripe cheddar alternating between each. For Whiskies I recommend Penderyn a Welsh Whiskey (yes the spelling is correct for Whiskies distilled outside of Scotland) which is more like an American Whiskey. Note the Scottish and Irish products are good also.

    Good to see that one of the ciders is named Anning, obviously named after Mary Anning who lived in Lyme Regis (the Jurassic coast where this cider is brewed). Mary was a fossil hunter and made many of the early discoveries of palaeontology in the first half of the 19th century. Born into poverty and remained poor all her life, little education. Being a woman at that time her discoveries were never recognised and even claimed by others (men) as their own. She was unable to join any learned scientific Society, as a woman. It is only in recent decades that her enormous contribution to the science has been recognised. Worth investigating her, there is a film about her life called Ammonite staring Kate Winslet, although like all these bios it departs from the truth a lot. She was deeply religious so don’t know how happy she would be having a cider named after her.

    Wot, no Thatcher's ciders from Zummerset? ;-)
    For whiskys, Chris may like the very peaty Laphroaig, which really puts hairs on your chest, so Jess may be somewhat less enthusiastic....
    I think she will like Irish whiskeys, which are usually triple distilled, and much smoother.
    I like Tullamore Dew, but the more readily available Jamesons is similar

    Cider pubs in the UK can sometimes have the atmoshpere of wild west frontier town saloon; most of the furniture is bolted to the floors …………! most of these bottled and canned ciders are not ‘real' cider as they are made with apple concentrate rather than pur apple juice. still delicious but if you want the real thing buy it from a farm, but rememebr to fish the dead rat out before you drink it!

    The best cider is homemade off the farms of Somerset. Its basically rocket fuel that tastes like apple juice but puts you into orbit very quickly! 😁🤣👍
    You need to try Meed. You used to be able to buy it in little bottles marked up as Gold Label. Meed is made from honey and will knock your socks off!

    traditionally cider was made with cider apples, which you would not want to eat..they are sour. I enjoyed plenty of scrumpy as a youngster.. half a pint.. powerful! No more scrumpy for me, as I live in Canada now, but we do have several cideries here in Nova Scotia.. we have a load of apple orchards here, and I can still get excellent cider. Don't bother with sweet cider.

    To get your taste "in" you need to drink about 1/2 pint of scrumpy cider, before starting the real drinking. Scrumpy cider, otherwise known as "Rough" tends to be acidic, strong, cloudy, possibly with bits in. Not polished and not fizzy, but interesting. Keep Reacting!

    I don't think you have chosen a good selection here and it's impossible to compare your choices with each other because they are a range of different fruits. Perhaps your judgement is coloured by what the American market calls cider, which is actually just apple juice. I think tasting with sipping a 'teaspoon' at a time is a good way to get the feel of the drink, you need to get a proper mouthful. I seem to just be nit-picking but I'm not, it's just a few things that spring to mind to avoid you making a wrong impression of our cider. You are doing a good job there and speaking as you see it - well done.

    Is it whisky or whiskey? Not overly keen on English whisky, Scotch better, Irish best. Bushmills is the oldest, from Northern Ireland. If it is spelt whiskey its from Ireland. Much prefer Jamiesons, Irish. But also like Bushmills, black bush is their premium. Drink with water, not mixers. Don't bother with ice.

    You said that “nothing is going to waste, you will finish them off later….”
    My personal word of advice….
    On no account should you think it’s a “really good idea…” to mix alllll those different ciders together, pouring them into a pitcher and make it one big multipurpose cidery drink ….
    I can confirm that this might have happened when I was at one of those “if the label says it’s alcohol, we are drinking it…” teenage parties that I might have attended 100 years ago when my sense of taste, decency and common sense was no way near the “maturing markers” - and it might have been thought to be a “right laugh” to combine all those variants of different ciders into what at first sight might look like a plastic dustbin but was in fact, an essential part of the party host’s father’s “home brew beer kit”…and yes, funnily enough, all it was good for after the “cider experiment” was just to be “a plastic dustbin” 😲🫤 *oh dear….😳😵‍💫😂*
    But back to the cider combining exercise - just don’t even think about it…. Because whilst at the time it was ‘enjoyable’, the end result is not conducive to being a “well that was nice, that was good fun” experience….it is more likely for those that have taken part in it, for them to have the next day being spent non compos mentis, in their bed in a very dark room, with a headache from hell that no amount of Resolve or paracetamol would ease, a large bowl on the floor and a Mother coming into the bedroom every 10 minutes, to repeatedly moan at them, tell them they were were being stupid, that they will tell their Father, ask if they did anything rude or embarrassing and oh, if they “make a mess, they will be sorting it out….”
    As I said it “might” have happened to me - or one of my friends - I don’t know I can’t remember! 🤣🤣🤣
