Nothing says Christmas like big, bold, comforting flavours, something a little luxurious and a real treat for the tastebuds.
We think we’ve met the brief for that with this year’s Christmas box. With a journey around the UK locating some lovely barrel aged, big and bold flavours, to savour with those stiltons and mince pies that will inevitably find their way into our lives over the Festive period.
Thistly Cross Whisky Barrel Aged Cider – Medium Dry - 6.7%, East Lothian, Scotland
Peter uses single malt scotch whisky casks from Glen Moray to give this cider its warming notes of oak, vanilla and honey
Pulpt ‘Limited Edition # 3’ 750ml – Medium Dry - 7.6%, Somerton, Somerset
Now this is a little bit special, very limited when made and even more so now we’ve bought a good chunk! A very generous 750ml serving too.
Pearsons ‘Founder’s Vintage Reserve 2021’ – Medium Dry - 6.3%, Gloucestershire
Mike is a bit of a perfectionist, this attention to detail means he is producing some belting ciders and Founder’s Reserve is one of the best.
Blue Barrel Cider ‘Smokin’ Barrels’ – Medium Dry, Still - 6.5% or 7.4%, Cambridgeshire
We have had to use two different year’s batches in this case, you will receive either a 2022 blue label at 7.4% or a 2023 red label at 6.5% - meaning some bottles will look different to those photographed!
The Pembrokeshire Cider Co ‘Cromwell 1648’ – Dry - 4.8%, Pembroke, Wales
The aroma of fresh apples harvested on a warm Autumn morning, and a refreshingly crisp taste, with tart apple notes and subtly effervescent; this is a resoundingly moreish cider!
The Somerset Cider Company ‘Merry Christmas’ Cider – Medium - 4.5%, Shepton Mallet, Somerset
And how else could we finish off without wishing you a very Merry Christmas, with Somerset Cider our own lovely Medium blended cider made from apples on our farm near Shepton Company Mallet

How quickly will I get my order?
We will ship all orders in two working days maximum, often the next day. Deliveries are only made Monday to Friday, by our courier, DHL.
Can I request delivery for a specific day?
Unfortunately we can't guarantee delivery for a specific date, but will try our best to delay it if needed for a future date. Just add a note at the 'Cart' page in the 'special instructions' box. Or drop us an email queries@bristolcidershop.co.uk with your order number and we will get back to you.
What happens If I am not in?
Because we are shipping a Licensed product (alcohol), parcels wont normally be left in safe places. One of three things will happen if you are not in at the time of your delivery.
1. It will be delivered to a neighbour and signed for - the tracking will show a photo of where your parcel has been delivered. Calling cards are not left so please keep a close eye on your tracking information for updates.
2. Your parcel will be returned to the depot and a redelivery will be attempted the next working day. DHL will make three delivery attempts before your parcel is returned to us, where there will be a charge for further delivery attempts after this time. Alternatively a full refund for the cost of the product will be issued on its safe return.
3. You can tailor the delivery via your DHL tracking email. This includes choosing a future, preferred delivery date or choosing a DHL Service Point to redirect your delivery to. More information can be found out on the DHL website.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery is £6.95 for most of UK for your first case and then £2.95 for additional ones. Rather than hiding the delivery cost in the product price and offering free delivery (there’s no such thing as free delivery!) we’d rather be transparent about the cost of the product and the cost of the delivery.
Are there any places you cannot ship?
We currently only ship within the UK. Delivery to UK islands, Scottish Islands and Scottish Highlands postcodes may cost extra - delivery charges will be displayed at checkout after you have entered your delivery address. Unfortunately we cannot ship outside the UK.
I live in Bristol. Can I collect?
Unfortunately our licence doesn’t allow us to have customer collections on site so we can only take orders for delivery, sorry!
How can I track my order?
When we ship your order, you will receive an email from us containing a tracking code from our couriers, DHL . The quickest way to track your parcel is to follow the tracking link and this will show you the status of your delivery in real time. This will also allow you to change any delivery details if you need to. If you have any further problems, please email us at queries@bristolcidershop.co.uk and we will do our best to help. Sorry we don't have a phone number.
Can I add a Gift Message?
Yes you can, simply add it in at checkout and we will include it on a card. No invoices nor sensitive information are included in the boxes, so no pricing information is given out, should you be sending a gift straight to a lucky recipient.
