CHARLES DE GRANVILLE CALVADOS 25 YEARS

  • Cask oak

On a Calvados label, '25 ans' indicates the age of the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend: everything that makes up this bottle has spent at least twenty-five years in oak casks. This long ageing yields a full, rounded spirit in which baked apple takes on notes of fine pastry. In the Charles de Granville range, this 25 ans sits just below the 30 ans among the blended expressions. It makes a thoughtful gift for a silver wedding anniversary or a 25th birthday, and is best served as a digestif, sipped slowly. 70 cl bottle.
