Having seen the constant ads for this, I became intrigued by the background of the name.

I happened to notice that on Bulmers Crisp Blend bottles, it states it is No15.

I did some googling and found out this number system was brought in earlier this year as part of a Bulmers rebrand.

It stated that the Bulmers Original Apple was No9 and Pear was No10.

Anyone know any more background?

What were 1-8?

What about 11-14, which one assumes are recent brands - I know they had a limited edition Apples and Pears and then a Red Apple version, which could account for two of the missing numbers.

And as Crisp Blend was only launched this year and No17 only launched this summer, what was No 16?

They make Strongbow and Woodpecker so there's 2. They had one out in the mid 90s called Bulmers vintage reserve so there's 3, Bulmers Light makes 4. Several varieties of Jacques adds a few more, plus they now make Scrumpy Jack

I'd be interested to know the rest myself actually.

When buying Cider I'd rather give my money to a British family cider maker e.g. Westons or Thatchers rather than a Dutch brewer (in Bulmers case Heineken). Their cider is much better also.
