An XO Calvados Pays d'Auge from Christian Drouin, bottled at 40% ABV in a 0.7 litre bottle with gift packaging. The double-distilled Calvados matures longer than the house's VSOP and combines maturation in small oak casks with finishing in former Cognac casks. Its fruit base is mostly apples with a small proportion of pears. Alongside cooked apple and compote, it shows almond, heated butter and spices.
The nose combines baked apples with almond and fine spice notes. The palate is soft, smooth and full-bodied, with fruit notes first, then vanilla and stronger woody notes. The finish leaves compote-like fruit notes and a spicy note.
