Pilton

Tamoshanta is a complex Specialty Cider that showcases the traditional keeving process and the nuanced influence of Scotch whisky barrels. This 2020 vintage presents a deep fruitiness, defined by rich apple notes and a medium-sweet profile that avoids cloying through structural tannins. The maturation in oak imparts a sophisticated sensory layer of smokey vanilla and subtle peat, harmonizing with the natural orchard esters. The result is a refined balance between rustic farmhouse character and the elegance of barrel aging, delivering a lingering finish where wood-derived spice meets sweet pomme fruit.

Appearance. Deep golden to bright amber (SRM 6–10). Brilliant clarity with high luster. Carbonation is light to moderate, producing a brief ring of white bubbles that dissipates quickly with no lasting head or lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of ripe, cooked apples and dried fruit esters. Distinctive secondary notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and a faint, wispy peat smoke from the Scotch whisky barrels. Low earthy funk and spicy phenols characteristic of the keeving process.

Taste. Initial impression is rich, orchard-fresh apple sweetness balanced by a bright acidity. The mid-palate reveals layers of vanilla and oak tannin, followed by a gentle smokiness that evokes the spirit-barrel aging. Medium-sweet finish that is cleaned up by a moderate tannic astringency, leaving a lingering aftertaste of sweet apple skin and charred wood.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a pleasing weight on the tongue due to residual sugars. Low to moderate carbonation provides a gentle sparkle. Subtle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated. Notable tannic grip adds structure without being harsh.
