G.E. Massenez Calvados Vieux is a unique apple brandy that features a whole apple inside the bottle. Similar to a ship in a bottle, it is intriguing to think about how it ended up there. The producers attach small developing apples to branches and place them inside the bottle, allowing them to grow fully. This attention-grabbing method proves that bottles can indeed grow on trees. While the G.E. Massenez Calvados is made using traditional methods, some adjustments have been made to meet modern production standards. Each bottle contains a Prisoner Apple, not only for its stunning visual effect but also to enhance the flavor. The brandy has an attractive medium-gold color and offers a bouquet of apple-cinnamon, cloves, pie crust, caramel, and hints of yellow pear. On the palate, it is dry with a subtle yet elegant apple-cinnamon taste. The finish is rich and smooth.
