Here’s another producer showcasing the cider apple: Yarlington Mill — this time, it’s Blue Barrel from Oakington, Cambridgeshire, although they actually started making cider in Nottingham before relocating in 2021
👅 First sip is satisfyingly fresh and fruity, almost lulling you into a false sense of security — but this is Yarly, and they’ve kept it proper. Once swallowed, that recognisable dry chew rolls in, carrying light vanilla and a touch of peppery lift.
