Blackthorn

Developed by an expert team of cider makers, Blackthorn is made using a secret blend of bittersweet cider apples, delivering a distinctive and unforgettable medium-dry taste. Shepton Mallet is the home of the Blackthorn Cider Mill. It’s here that Blackthorn Cider has been made for over 50 years. We have long term relationships with local growers from Somerset, Devon, Dorset and Herefordshire and over 90% of our fruit comes from within 50 miles of the cidery. The ‘Bittersweet’ cider apples have the perfect combination of low acidity and high tannins that gives Blackthorn a complex and full-bodied character, but that’s what makes it so rewarding. Don’t just take our word for it, ‘Grab Life by the Thorn’ for yourself. Show Less
