On a warm evening, a cold, crisp cider can be vastly refreshing, and during the holidays, little is as festive as a spiced cider. The best place for visitors and residents in the Cayman Islands to buy cider is Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits. Shop online or in person for outstanding inventory, pricing, and service.
Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits offers seven different brick-and-mortar locations where customers find a wide selection of ciders, beers, wines, and liquors, with an empowered staff ready to provide guidance and solutions. The seven locations we offer are distributed throughout the following Grand Cayman communities:

Online shopping is simple and comes with free delivery. However, if you plan to pop bottles the same day, purchase them before 2:00 in the afternoon. Otherwise, we’ll deliver the next day that we’re open, or you can pick up your order at the George Town location before we close at 7:00 pm.
The Unique Advantages of Hard Cider
Naturally Made from Real Fruit – Hard cider is made from fermented apples, just like wine is made from fermented grapes. The taste will be influenced by the sugars, acids, and tannins associated with the choice of apple varieties.
Naturally Gluten-Free – If you’re looking for a tasty alcoholic alternative to other gluten-filled beverages, try cider. Unlike beer, which is made from grain, hard cider is made from fermented apple juice – no gluten included. You’ll enjoy an experience that parallels a quality ale without the gluten.
Naturally Lower Alcohol Content – Hard cider has a lower ABV than either wine or hard liquor. This choice is an excellent option for a moderate evening that doesn’t get out of hand.
Naturally Healthy – Hard cider provides antioxidants that prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer and Vitamin C that significantly boosts immunity.
