A beautiful pale oak colour with bright golden highlights. The complex nose evokes subtle notes of dried apricot, precious wood and prunes gently kissed with vanilla. The palate is soft and rounded, marked by sensations of candied fruit and gentle spice, leading to a suave, lightly sweet finish.
the bottle
Calvados with a controlled designation of origin, distilled from cider made from the 1968 harvest and aged in oak casks. A Norman apple spirit from a single vintage year.
Serve with best enjoyed as a digestif
1968 was the year that changed everything, from the cobblestones of May in Paris to the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy in the United States. The Gascon harvest of that turbulent year yielded spirits of strong character, now aged for nearly six decades in oak casks, with intense spice and a well-present rancio.
