About This Cider
Thatchers Katy Single Varietal Cider 50Cl 7.8% is a premium craft cider that focuses on the unique characteristics of the Katy apple, delivering a clean and expressive cider that stands out within cider Ireland. Produced by Thatchers, a well-established cider maker, this single varietal cider offers a refined take on traditional apple cider, highlighting the natural flavours of the fruit without unnecessary complexity.
The Katy apple is known for its bright, aromatic qualities, and this cider captures that perfectly. The flavour profile is led by fresh apple notes with a balance of sweetness and acidity, creating a crisp and refreshing drinking experience. The higher ABV adds a touch of body and warmth, while still maintaining a smooth and approachable finish.
Unlike blended ciders, where multiple apple varieties are used, this single varietal approach allows the true character of the apple to shine through. This results in a more defined and consistent flavour, making it an excellent choice for those looking to explore different styles within craft cider Ireland.
