Adrien Camut Calvados du Pays d'Auge 18 ans d'Age, Normandie, France

$275.00

Calvados produced by seventh-generation distillers Jean-Michel, Emmanuel, and Jean-Gabriel Camut in the Pays d’Auge region of Normandy, France, at Domaine de Semainville
Distilled from 100% apples grown in orchards planted in the hautes-tiges style; many of the apples are heritage varieties
Cider is fermented in wood for 10–11 months
Twice distilled on copper pot stills fueled by wood
Aged a minimum of 18 years
Reduced with rainwater and aged in large vats and tonneaux made primarily of Limousin oak and filled no higher than 75% full to promote oxidation; no new wood is used
Aromas of spiced apple bread, orange zest, and Earl Grey tea with milk lead to an initially creamy palate that sharply dives into lemon oil with a hint of sloe berry. A dry finish lingers with just a whisper of brioche French toast.
41% ABV
