Calvados LECOMPTE 5 is prized for its un adulterated fruitness, with a refined, discreet woodiness which compliments the light, lively apple flavours. Before transferring to more mature barrels to help bring out its mellow flavors, this Calvados Pays d'Auge spent several months in small casks of fresh oak, providing a delicate touch of vanilla.
Light golden in the glass, this spirit has a restrained honey and fresh pear scent. The flavor is correspondingly mild, showing honey and almond, plus a resin-like note midpalate, before finishing with gentle hints of pear, white flowers and ginger. Recommended for mixing.
