Christian Drouin XO Calvados Pays d'Auge Mini - 5cl

Special features: The Christian Drouin XO Calvados Pays d'Auge is produced in France, where it is processed through double distillation and aging in small oak barrels. These methods promote the development of harmonious aromas. The bottling showcases notes of baked apple, almond, and spices. This miniature bottling of 50 ml offers the opportunity to explore the complex character of the Calvados.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: On the nose, there is a layer of furniture polish, while the aromas of cooked and caramelized apple remind one of Tarte Tatin. Over time, oily notes develop into currants and macadamia nuts, accompanied by floral nuances.
• Palate: On the palate, the Calvados is dense with distinctly perceivable aromas of cooked apples, caramel, and leather. Dried fruits stand out and offer almonds as well as sweet spices, including a hint of honey.
• Finish: The finish is subtle and combines fruity sweetness with a slightly oxidative patina.

Distillery/Bottler: Christian Drouin is the producer of this Calvados and represents the tradition of double distillation. The Calvados develops a harmonious aroma with notes of baked apple, almond, and spices. The original bottling reflects the production method in small oak barrels and offers an authentic tasting experience.
