This single batch of 2023 Cockhaisy dry cider from Big Nose and Beardy is a true taste of Sussex, crafted with care from apples picked at Cockhaise Mill Farm, right by the Bluebell railway.
Every year, Big Nose and Beardy gathers volunteers to hand-pick apples from this well-established orchard. This particular batch blends cider apples from the back orchard with a selection of eaters from the front, all left to mature for an appropriately long time after a full fermentation.
The result is a pleasingly dry cider with plenty of complex notes and a long, satisfying finish. It's a reliable standard for Big Nose and Beardy, presented as a dry cider because it needs nothing added – just pure juice and time. For the best experience, serve it chilled and imagine yourself at the edge of the orchard as the steam trains whistle by.
