Superb, creamy textured and vibrantly fruity this has something of a curd or yoghurty nature and the youth comes through as banana milkshake (estery and creamy). A great insight into Drouin’s base spirit nature. 84/100
Drouin Reserve Des Fiefs
Pacory 12 Years Old
A well aged Clavados with plenty of wood influence but kept fresh with a touch of zest and plenty of fruit, smooth and creamy on the palate.
Le Clos d’Orval Calvados 12 Years Old
Wood overboard but still some soft baked apple fruit and toffee/caramel notes too. Another fine example of fruit and oak balance from le Clos d’Orval. 87/100
Pere Magloire VSOP South Islay Cask Finish
An interesting mix of peat-smoke and Calvados, quite light from the peaty whisky side which adds some darker notes of liqourice, clove and tar. 84/100
Pere Magloire VSOP North Islay Cask Finish
A lovely nutty, buttery and slightly coastal nature imbued here which really compliment the sweet apple and nutty French oak nature of the core Calvados. 85/100
Pere Magloire VSOP Speyside Cask Finish
A much sweeter and more vanillic expression following finishing in aSpeyside whisky cask, more body generate from a hint of malty cereal barley also. 84/100
Pere Magloire VSOP Pays d’Auge Calvados
A lovely introductory apple/fruit-led flavour, quite light on the palate and a hint of French oak maturation. 83/100
Pere Magloire XO Pays d’Auge Calvados
Pere Magloire XO Pays d’Auge Calvados Calvados Review: Super mellow and smooth, hints of floral sandalwood, oak and apple. 85/100
Pere Magloire VSOP Pays d’Auge Calvados
Pere Magloire VSOP Pays d’Auge Calvados Calvados Review: Enjoyable, packed full of fruit and oak as you would expect, a touch of leathery tannins add spice and dryness. 83/100
Adrien Camut 6 Ans d’Age Calvados Pays d’Auge
Adrien Camut 6 Ans d’Age Calvados Pays d’Auge Calvados Review: Another deep and rich expression, plenty of oak wood but with an effervescent/mentholic nature, probably tannic/cask derived? balanced by plenty of rich fruits. 86/100
