Pere Magloire VSOP Single Malt Cask Finish Calvados

Père Magloire VSOP Single Malt Cask Finish Calvados is an innovative French apple brandy produced by Père Magloire in Normandy, France. Crafted from a blend of Calvados VSOP aged for a minimum of four years in French oak barrels, this expression undergoes a final finishing period in ex-single malt whisky barrels sourced from the Scottish Islands (such as Islay and Jura). This unique double-maturation process seamlessly combines traditional orchard fruit sweetness with subtle notes of peat smoke, heather, and malted whisky character.

Food Pairing: Roasted pork tenderloin with apple chutney, seared duck breast, dark chocolate tarts, smoked cheeses, or tarte tatin.

Tasting Notes : Clear, glossy, golden yellow appearance with a smooth, medium-to-full body and a warm, elegant mouthfeel.

Nose : Spicy and slightly smoky with aromas of baked apple, fresh heather, gentle peat, and subtle oak.

Palate : Generous and well-rounded with rich cooked apple, vanilla, light oak tannins, sweet malt, and delicate peaty wood notes.

Finish : Complex, long, and warming with lingering notes of orchard fruit, subtle smoke, and dry oak spice.

Serve : Serve neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, or with a drop of spring water to open the aromatic whisky cask notes.
