This French Calvados apple brandy, Calvados Roger Groult Eight Year, was crafted from cider apples that were handpicked at the Pays d´Aug estate in Lower Normandy, France. This Calvados received a double distillation process over wood bringing fires. Subsequently, only the core of this distilled liquor was passed along to French oak barrels where this liquor was aged for eight years. Calvados Roger Groult 8 Years has a beautiful amber golden colored body. In the nose there are expressive apple, cinnamon, and vanilla aromatics alongside a elegant wooden background of spices, especially toasted vanillas. This Calvados has a well-rounded palate that is beautiful and very persistent. This is an elegant and silky French Calvados.
