This indulgent and sweetly satisfying blend is a radical renegade of a cider. Think bittersweet tannic cider with a toffee apple note. International award-winning cider.
Hogan's had a strong dry cider in their portfolio (Panking Pole 6.2%) but decided to trial a sweeter strong cider. Libertine was born and it is a heady blend of cider apples with their bittersweet and bittersharp tannic notes and a toffee-ish sweetness. It is now infamous walking away with many best in class medals eg Best in Class & Gold Cider World 2020 and 2019; Gold for Libertine & Classic Cider Cup in the biennial International Cider Awards 2019, Gold and Best in Class at Great Lakes (GLINTCAP) in the USA, 2019.

Twelve month barrel-aged keeved cider from 2021, blended with naturally sweet keeved cider from the following season. Brown's Apple brings refreshing acidity to complete the balance. Made in collaboration with chef Merlin Labron-Johnson, for his Michelin starred restaurant Osip in Bruton, Somerset.
Pilton Cider was founded by Martin Berkeley within the cider heartland of Somerset. They are known for making superb whole juice sparkling ciders using the traditional method of ‘keeving’; an artisan practice of making naturally sweetened cider, principally from cider apples. A plethora of apples are gathered from selected traditional cider orchards in and around the parish of Pilton and are slowly fermented for 6 months before they are stored within the cidery’s impressive Victorian cellar prior to bottling..
