Prove me wrong, I dare you:) I even heard that their Whisky Cask is one of the best ciders ever - and I found it really difficult to drink! I can't wait for your reviews!:)Dreadnoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00473479571035846132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634870909559270527.post-20329096875259271822013-10-27T22:05:57.981+00:002013-10-27T22:05:57.981+00:00Having recently been to Scotland, I have three Thi...Having recently been to Scotland, I have three Thistly Cross ciders (bought at a Tesco's somewhere north of Edinburgh).

A year has past, and I finally got my hands on the Jaggy Thistle thanks to Growlers UK based in Edinburgh. <br /><br />Now, I'm afraid that the cider that I'm drinking right now is slightly different from the one that you tried last year. First of all is the ABV - not 7,1 but 7.4. Second - no squashiness. Third - no cloudy/hazy colour, just bright and light golden. Forth - it's been sweetened with apple juice, so the taste faded a little. Anyway that's still the best Thistly Cross so far. At least it's not overly sweet and it doesn't taste like Żubrókwa (a type of Polish vodka) mixed with apple juice!

But still it's nice:) Dreadnoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00473479571035846132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634870909559270527.post-23783515604361197982012-11-11T16:24:51.433+00:002012-11-11T16:24:51.433+00:00Thanks for that, will take a look.
