The things food and drink writers say…

Oliver isn’t a scientific blender, he says. “I just use my nose and palate, and I try to end up with something that I know is going to work. I don’t try to produce something that’s going to take someones head off.”And, sure enough, my head isn’t blown off by a glass of his Three Counties medium-dry perry, but I am blown away by it, by its quiet, off-dry elegance, the suavity of its fruit, as debonair as a Savile Row suit, with a long, long finish.
Perry is a wonderful drink which should be celebrated much more than at present, and Olivers is exemplary of the craft genre. Too much perry in one session however, should be avoided not because of the danger of getting your head blown off exactly, but for reasons which involve other bodily systems such as the digestive and perambulatory parts.
