Adrien Camut: Calvados Camut Privilège (18 Jahre)

Galloni über: Calvados Camut Privilège (18 Jahre)

-- Galloni: This 18-year-old bottling demonstrates how the Camut family’s solera approach – achieving the virtues of both youth and age – makes for a beautiful Calvados. Brilliant topaz in color, there’s a complex, but warm-hearted nose of strudel, toffee, and roasted nuts, along with the distinctive aroma of fresh apple peel. On the palate, it’s very precise and linear, with sharp licorice notes balancing the dried fruit and apple pie. That’s followed by a surprisingly fresh and supple finish that brings us all the way back, figuratively and almost emotionally, to the just-picked apple in the orchard. This is a transcendent spirit. Note: Within the next year, Camut will drop the name “Privilège” and bottle this as simply “18 years old.” (AOC Pays d’Auge 41% abv.)
