Père Magloire's Single Malt Cask Finish Calvados is a masterful blend that bridges French and Scottish traditions. This innovative expression begins with a VSOP Calvados, matured in French oak barrels in Normandy before it’s finished in ex-single malt whisky casks from the Scottish Isles of Islay and Jura. The result is a Calvados that harmonizes classic apple aromas with subtly smoky and peaty undertones, paying homage to both the French Pays d’Auge and the Scottish islands.
Tasting Notes
- Colour: Clear, golden yellow with a glossy sheen
- Aroma: Slightly spicy and smoky, with hints of heather and a subtle coastal influence
- Palate: Generous notes of cooked apple mingled with woody, peaty elements, adding layers of complexity
- Finish: Long and complex, with evolving notes of fruit and light peat
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy neat to fully appreciate the complexity of flavors and the influence of the single malt cask finish. Ideal as an aperitif or an after-dinner treat with a selection of cheeses.
