Today's post is actually about a cider, but I have included some of the nicest travel memories I have from a special country. Tasting
this cider transported me back to a happy time, but also made me miss
Wales very much. I occasionally get this longing for a holiday in Wales,
as I have spent a couple of good ones there. I keep nagging to my partner regularly and out of the blue "When will you take me to Wales again?" or saying "I miss Wales.".
A few years ago (in July 2012) I visited the Llandudno area and Snowdonia and everything I saw took my breath away. I have added a couple of archive photos from that trip here and keep dwelling in nostalgia while I drink this cider that I also drank during that holiday. Just look at those beautiful beasts also known as the Great Orme goats, a Welsh waterfall, a view from the Snowdon mountain and an early evening scene overlooking the Llandudno Bay – one just has to adore these views!

And
now to the actual cider. It's the Black Dragon
by the Gwynt Y Ddraig The Welsh Cider & Perry Company 6,5 %. The look of the bottle is very attractive and the art work is nice. I
do pay attention to that whenever I buy drinks (or food). Initially
the drinker is encountered by a very appley taste and the freshness
of the fruit is apparent. The cider is very smooth and dangerously
easy to drink for its 6,5 %. It's medium dry with spicy notes and a
clean aftertaste of apples and minerality. It's a refreshing drink,
great to be served at parties.
Now I'm off to
look at my Wales photo folder! See you soon!
