Calvados V.S.O.P Pays d'Auge
150cl - 40% vol
Tender and appetizing
Produced in the Pays d'Auge from bitter, bitter-sweet, sweet and sharp cider apples by double distillation in copper stills, VSOP is aged in small previously-used casks, including some former wine casks. The blend also contains some spirits aged in former fortified wine casks, adding further sweetness and complexity.
VSOP thus offers an appetizing fruitiness over ripe apple flavours, combining smooth elegance with the first hints of spices.
93/100, Ultimate Spirit Challenge 2021 (USA)
"Wild nose of fresh apple peel, baked apple pie, white chocolate and dried flowers. A rich, savoury palate unfolds more flavours from the orchard and finishes with warm notes of oak and juicy fresh stone fruit."
