Calvados '35 yr Old - Reserve d'Adrien'

• 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 35–40 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
• Browned butter and walnut rancio on the nose. A mineralic palate speaks of candied apple, black tea, and dehydrated lemon. Cigar spice and a touch of orange come through on a sprightly finish.
• 40% ABV
