2021 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Christian Drouin Vintage 1981 Pays D'Auge Calvados (France), 42% abv, $500.00, 750 ml

97
Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

A profound, rollicking nose. At once supremely decadent with apple tart tatin, baked golden raisins, and clove; there are intriguing savory notes reminiscent of beef broth, mushroom, and cedar. The palate maintains freshness with plenty of apple character and hints of sweet spice that last and last.
