About Blackthorn
Blackthorn cider carries over 50 years of West Country cider-making heritage, crafted using apples from the heartland of English cider country. The brand maintains long-term relationships with local growers from Somerset, Devon, Dorset, and Herefordshire, with over 90% of their fruit sourced from within 50 miles of the cidery – true provenance that's increasingly rare in mass-market ciders. The Blackthorn range includes the popular Reserve variant, offering a smooth, accessible cider that appeals to both traditional cider drinkers and those seeking an everyday refreshment. The 3-litre format provides excellent value for gatherings, BBQs, and regular enjoyment. The West Country apple varieties used deliver the characteristic balance of sweetness and refreshment that British drinkers have trusted for decades. As part of the broader Heineken/Bulmers stable of cider brands, Blackthorn benefits from the expertise of one of Britain's largest cider producers while maintaining its distinct identity as a value-focused traditional cider. The name evokes the rural English hedgerows where blackthorn bushes mark ancient boundaries, connecting drinkers to the countryside origins of authentic British cider.
