Tasting notes:

Clear golden yellow. Bouquet opens with notes of honey and acacia flower, followed by spicy aromas (nutmeg) to blossom on notes of applesauce. This Calvados surprises with its softness and roundness, very balanced, without any heaviness.
The aromas of apple, honey and spices are present in the retro-olfaction, accompanied by notes of hazelnut.

Story:

This 8-year-old Calvados “Sauternes Cask Finish” has spent several months in small French oak barrels that have contained Sauternes wine.

This aging method will reveal gourmet and fruity notes to this “ageless” Calvados which will appeal to the greatest number.
With this Calvados “Sauternes Cask Finish”, our Cellar Master has succeeded in producing an original and elegant Calvados, both traditional and innovative.
