Somerset Cider Brandy Pomona

Pomona's Orchard Bliss: A Somerset Cider Brandy Delight

Somerset Cider Brandy Pomona is a premium offering from the Somerset Cider Brandy Company, showcasing a unique twist on traditional English apple brandy. Named after Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and orchards, this cider brandy blends a variety of apples to create a more complex and refined flavour profile, elevating it to the status of the Goddess of Somerset’s Cider Brandy.

Tasting Notes:

The golden amber hue of Pomona comes from its oak barrel aging, offering an inviting and rich colour. On the nose, it presents a complex, aromatic blend of fresh orchard fruits, light floral notes, and subtle hints of honey and spice. The flavour on the palate is perfectly balanced, with vibrant apple notes at the forefront, complemented by smooth oak, vanilla, and a hint of caramel. The body is light yet elegant, with a clean finish that lingers with a touch of warmth.

Perfect Serve:

Best served neat, over ice, or as part of a cocktail. Pomona also pairs beautifully with tangy cheeses like Brie or sharp Cheddar, mild charcuterie such as salami, and fruit-based desserts like apple crumble or toffee pudding.

Artisan Craftsmanship:

Crafted using a blend of heritage cider apples such as Dabinett, Chisel Jersey, and other traditional Somerset varieties, Pomona brings together both bittersweet and sharp apples for a deeper, more intricate flavour. Distilled in copper pot stills to preserve the fruity aromas, it is aged in oak barrels to impart richness and smoothness, rounding out the sharpness of the apples with gentle vanilla and toasty notes.
