Christian Drouin 35 ans d'âge Calvados A.O.C (70cl, 40%)

A Calvados from Christian Drouin, aged for at least 35 years in oak casks. The apple fruit remains recognisable alongside the wood notes: ripe apples and spices shape the aroma, while fruity sweetness and a warm, rounded body come together on the palate. The bottling carries the Calvados Contrôlée appellation and contains no colouring. It comes in a 700 ml bottle at 40% ABV in a gift box bearing the house's lion crest and an image of its half-timbered building. The nose is led by ripe apples and fine spices, with a hint of oak. The palate brings fruity sweetness and gentle wood notes, with a full, warm and rounded body. The finish is long and ends gently with spicy notes.
