Thistly Cross, Scotland's leading cider producer, was born in 2008 from the vision of Peter Stuart, an ambitious cider maker with a penchant for the wild and original. With roots just 44 kilometres from the production site, Thistly Cross embodies the essence of Scotland's east coast in East Lothian - known as one of Scotland's sunniest regions.
The launch of the first Thistly Cross Cider in 2009 marked the beginning of a new era in cider enjoyment. With a flagship product, the 6.2% Original Cider, Thistly Cross has developed a range that is characterised by unique Core Apple and Real Fruit Ciders. These award-winning creations are based on a carefully crafted base cider, using locally collected apples and pressed by hand on site.
The passion for craftsmanship and quality drives Thistly Cross to continually create innovative ciders that not only uphold traditions but also open up new horizons of taste. Every sip of Thistly Cross is a commitment to craftsmanship and the joy of enjoyment - a promise that is kept anew with every product. Thistly Cross is therefore not only at the forefront of the craft cider movement, but is also a symbol of the passionate dedication to quality and taste that is expressed in every glass.....
