• Calvados distilled by Didier Lemorton at La Baillée Fétu in Mantilly, France • Appellation Calvados Domfrontais Contrôlée • Juice is naturally fermented on the lees in large wooden foudres or tonneaux for 9–10 months • Distilled from pears (70–80%) and apples (the appellation requires a minimum of 30% pear) • Single distillation occurs on a traveling, wood-fired copper column still co-owned by Lemorton and two other Calvados producers in the area • Aged a minimum of 3 years in used French oak • Aromas of sage, stewed apple & pear, and brioche transition to a drying palate of tobacco and cinnamon. A hint of crème caramels whispers on the finish. • 43% ABV For fans of oxidized flavors and a touch of funk, this compelling cocktailing component works beautifully paired with, or substituted for, whiskey and is complemented by baking spice and savory herbs.
