This is an XO Calvados from the Pays d'Auge, offered in a 5-litre Dame Jeanne with a pipette. It is made from bitter, bittersweet, sweet and acidic cider apples and double-distilled in copper stills. The spirits mature in small used casks, including former wine, liqueur wine and brandy casks. The components matured in former liqueur wine and brandy casks add extra sweetness and aromatic complexity. It is bottled at 40% vol.
The nose shows baked apple and tarte Tatin with a subtle rancio character, plus almond notes and spices. The palate is clear and precise, with fruit leading, a soft, full and mild character, and notes of vanilla and stronger wood. The finish brings compote-like fruit notes and spicy accents.
