Vintage Calvados
I am very happy to announce the arrival of Lemorton's 1978 Vintage Domfrontais Calvados. You may recall my previous writing on Lemorton's Reserve Domfrontais Calvados (found here); wherein I believe I rhapsodized over the depth of flavor and complexity held within each bottle.
The 1978 Reserve is sourced only from pears and apples from the fall harvest in 1978, oak barreled after distillation, and then bottled 34 years later in June of 2012. This is the epitome of Calvados - an extremely long, rich and smooth finish from the extended barrel aging, but with an enduring mushroom and candied pear character that contributes to its extraordinary flavor.
There isn't a better way to finish a dinner.
