Christian Drouin Millésime 1968 Calvados A.O.C. (70cl, 40%)

A 1968 vintage Calvados from Christian Drouin's Les Millésimés series. It was distilled in 1968 in a copper column still and matured in used Calvados casks, then bottled in 2018 at 40% ABV. The 70cl bottle comes in a wooden box. The Calvados shows an intense brown amber colour. Its fruity and spicy spectrum includes apple, cooked fruit, dried fruit, quince and pear. On the nose there are ripe apples and spicy oak notes. The palate is full-bodied, with sweetness and acidity in balance, plus caramel and vanilla. The finish is long and warm, with a hint of cinnamon and nuts.
