Henry Westons Vintage Glass Bottles, 8.2% ABV 8 x 500ml

If you’ve only ever tried the usual sweet supermarket ciders, Henry Westons Vintage will completely reset your expectations. This isn’t a “summer garden party” drink — it’s the kind of cider that deserves an actual glass, not a plastic cup. At 8.2%, it’s strong — but it never feels harsh or alcoholic. The flavour is deep and mellow, with that signature Westons apple richness and just the right balance of sweetness and dryness. You get the fruit, a bit of oak, and a warmth that builds gently — almost like a fine wine made from apples. Served cold, it’s crisp and refreshing; at room temperature, it becomes almost velvety, with more of that aged, full-bodied flavour coming through. I’ve shared it with friends who don’t usually drink cider, and even they commented on how “proper” it tastes. Packaging-wise, the glass bottles make it feel premium (and much nicer to serve). Each bottle feels substantial — something you actually enjoy opening. If I had to find one fault, it’s that it’s too easy to drink for its strength. At 8.2%, two bottles in and you’ll be feeling very mellow indeed — so pace yourself. Overall, this is a standout cider — rich, balanced, and genuinely satisfying. It’s less about refreshment and more about enjoyment. A perfect choice for when you want something that feels a bit more special than the usual pint. Would I buy it again? Without hesitation. It’s become my go-to treat cider — best served cold, savoured slowly. (Reviewed after finishing the full case — purely for research purposes, of course.) 🍎

Lovely, smooth filtered and clean sharp taste. Very refreshing over the festive period with a nice slice of strong cheese on crusty bread, this cider provides a tarte sharpness and you'll be surprised how it helps with a cosy afternoon snooze afterwards. Thank you Henry!

Delicious. I'm allergic to gluten, so this is one of the only types of beer I can drink. This is one of the best hard ciders I've ever had. Mind you that I'm from the USA. That means that this is one of maybe 5 ciders I've tried in the UK. You can tell it's a high ABV by the taste. It's not too fruity. The product arrived on time undamaged.

Very nice Cider nice and smooth a very tasty flavour is stunning and for a 8.2 in strength goes down a treat thank you oh and not to bad for Diabetes only put my blood sugar up for after drinking 5
