2x 75cl bottles of Bisquet

This is a rare opportunity to try two vintages of our Bisquet cider side by side. The fruit is from the same three trees but the two bottles in this pack were made on two different years: 2023 and 2024. 

If you want to get geeky about cider vintages then read on! 

Bisquet is one of our all time favourite apples. Whilst not at all uncommon and sadly more often used to bulk out a mass produced cider, it's rarely allowed to shine on its own and we think it deserves way more love than it gets! The three trees we have access to were planted in 1936 and produce the most incredible fruit- whatever the vintage, there is always an unmistakable, delicious twang of something akin to ripe pineapple. 

Because of the uniqueness of the wild yeasts we work with, our ciders are only made once and never again. This seasonal variation is thrilling because each bottle released is a chance to taste a snapshot in the life of the orchard or sometimes a single tree.

FAQs

How quickly will I recieve my order?

Everything is packed and shipped by us (Tom and Lydia) at the cidery and we aim to get all orders out within two days of purchase. If you need your cider more quickly, get in touch and we'll do our best to help!

Orders are shipped via Parcel Force on a next day delivery service.

Does the cider have a use by date?

Unopened and stored in a cool, dry place our cider will be good to drink for around three years  As a general rule, like wine, cider has excellent capacity for ageing.

If the cider has been opened we recommend sealing with a champagne stopper and storing in the fridge for no more than 24 hours.

Is the cider vegan friendly?

Yes, our only ingredient is apples!

Is the cider organic?

We only use organically grown, unsprayed apples in our cider. Due to the number of orchards we care for belonging to other people we are not able to offically certify ourselves organic at this point in time.

Does the cider contain sulphites?

Our cider does not contain sulphites, however our perries contain a trace amount.

Who designs your labels?

All of the label artwork and graphic design is done in house by Lydia using traditional materials. The labels are printed onto recycled paper by a wonderful, local family run printing company and then stuck to the bottles by us using an up-cycled, and crucially, plastic free glue invented by Tom.

Check out our range of postcard art prints featuring Lydia's label art from past vintages!
