The Somerset Cider Brandy Company
In 1989, The Somerset Cider Brandy Company were granted the UK’s first ever full cider distilling licence. They have been distilling cider into Somerset apple brandy ever since, reviving an ancient craft of the West Country. Half of their cider is set aside for distilling. The resulting clear spirit, known as Eau de Vie or ‘water of life’, is trickled into small oak casks to mature into brandy for a minimum of three years.
Their Somerset Cider Brandy is currently the only spirit in England to have a Protected Geographical Indication, or PGI. They also make award-winning liqueurs and a range of fine ciders including an ice cider and perry. Alongside the cider orchards they grow 20 varieties of perry pear, Morello cherries, plums, elderflowers, quinces and lavender on the farm.
