Thatchers Rascal Somerset Cider is a full-bodied, amber-colored premium cider from the traditional Thatchers Cider Company in Sandford, Somerset, which owes its charming name to an old legend about a clever little fox that regularly sneaked out of the orchard at night to help itself to the fresh cider supplies, until people exclaimed: it was the old rascal again. The blend of Somerset Redstreak and Tremlett's Bitter apples balances bitterness with a refreshingly gentle sweetness and is ideal for curious drinkers looking for something extraordinary, as it takes true craftsmanship to produce this craft cider. On the first sip, it reveals its mischievous complexity – full-bodied, juicy, and wonderfully balanced between gentle sweetness and pointed bitterness, with ripe apple aromas meeting fine tannins that provide structure without dominating, and a finish that is long, clean, and invigorating. Thatchers Rascal is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a high-quality, characterful, and masterfully crafted Somerset cider that impresses as a versatile companion to mature cheddar, hearty pies, BBQ, and spicy dishes, as well as a standalone enjoyment for those who appreciate cider with real depth and a wink.
