Père Magloire Fine VS Calvados

Père Magloire Fine VS is a Calvados, an apple brandy from Normandy, made from cider apples and distilled in a single continuous run. It is then aged for a minimum of two years in French oak. The single continuous distillation is meant to keep the fresh apple character, and the result is a young, crisp, fruit-led spirit that works neat, over ice or in cocktails such as a Calvados Sour or a Sidecar. The house has been making Calvados since 1821. On the nose there are green apples, soft pear, white flowers and a hint of vanilla. The palate brings apple tart, honey and light oak spice, and the finish is clean and slightly tangy with a delicate woodiness.
