Lemorton Selection Calvados Domfrontais Review

Pick up a bottle of this Calvados andyou'll be armed with one of the most interesting and versatile spirits going. Made using a blend of apple and pear ciders, which age in barrel for close to a year prior to distillation, the spirit then rests in oak for almost three years before release. The effect is an expectedly complex, nuanced brandy, which sings with notes of sour apples, and lands crisp, tart, and fruity on the palate. Sip neat or enjoy mixed in cocktails either as the main spirit component or a nifty modifier.
