Lightning Jack Handmade  white cider 750ml

White cider was invented in devon, as a premium cider, made from the low tannin apple varieties native to the county. It was exceptionally strong if allowed to ferment to dryness. a clean & crisp, uncomplicated cider. lightning jack is made from bramley apples, a variety not thought of as Devonian, but grown here at Solland since the end of the 19th century. we have a tree thought to be one of the oldest Bramley trees in the UK. Sadly the large producers and supermarkets ruined white cider using cheap foreign concentrate and glucose giving white cider its bad boy “bus shelter” image. We hope that lightning Jack will re-introduce you to the enjoyment of the original premium cider concept.

Long ago in a cider company far far away… Well not so far away really.

Back in the 1980’s we owned Inch’s Cider in Winkleigh which made a very popular cider called “harvest scrumpy” on a visit to the renowned Olde Cider Bar in Newton Abbot we discovered that the locals called Harvest Scrumpy “White Lightning” And so a cider legend was born. White Lightning became hugely popular across the country as part of the first cider boom. Regrettably changes in cider duty brought the boom to an end in favour of flavoured alcopops. A whole generation of cider companies closed Inch’s, Merrydown, Gaymers, and Taunton cider amongst them. Production of White Lightning moved to hereford and it became a cheap nasty product finally put out of its misery in the noughties. We decided to revive the original high quality cider with a new name. We hope you like it

200 SPECIAL EDITION CIDER

In 2016 the Sheppy family celebrated 200 years and six generations of craft cider-making, and this special edition bicentennial blend was created to mark the occasion. With the use of home-grown traditional cider apple varieties, it embodies the family’s stewardship of their farm’s old orchards over the last century, and marks a moment to be celebrated as the family tradition continues into the future.

Sheppy's 200 Special Edition Cider is full-flavoured, with some traditional tannin undertones.

"2016 was a very special year for Sheppy’s and that is why I chose to produce this very special cider. Some people may know this as Old Conky but with our recent re brand we have named it after our bicentennial celebration. Sheppy’s have produced so many ciders over the years and the generations and I really think this one stands out from the range."

This cider is one of our refreshing summer fruit ciders – a lighter alternative to classic cider. We like to call this our 'Cider with Elderflower' rather than 'Elderflower Cider' because we want the apples to play an important part in what makes this cider taste as good as it does. The end result is a cider that is equally well-balanced with both aromatic elderflower and flavourful Somerset apples. Available in 500ml bottles, and like all of our ciders it has been fermented and matured naturally using wild yeasts. "Although Sheppy’s is all about traditional cider I knew that I had to keep up with the trends by producing a fruit cider. This cider is produced to a medium taste and I make sure I keep it as natural as possible. It’s as close to a traditional flavoured cider as you’re going to find."

Sheppy’s Kingston Black Cider is produced from the increasingly rare old Somerset cider apple variety called Kingston Black, renowned for being one of the finest cider varieties in the world.   Sheppy’s Kingston Black Cider is produced from a now rare old Somerset cider apple variety called Kingston Black. Believed by Somerset cider-makers to be from Kingston St Mary near Taunton, it is renowned for being one of the world's  finest cider apple varieties. Kingston Black is a popular single variety cider with those who have a dry palate.

TASTING NOTES

6.5% ABV

This old apple variety is a shy bearer of high quality, crimson red fruit which gives a refreshingly crisp flavour to this deliciously appley sparkling cider. Kingston Black is a dry cider with a slight sparkle. It should be served slightly chilled but to experience the best flavour, do not over-chill. We recommend around 8 degrees C. It is an excellent drink to accompany fish, chicken or vegetarian dishes but is equally good just on its own.
