Le Compte Originel 3 Year Calvados

Calvados Pays D'Auge, a unique blend, offers a multitude of flavors that are both fresh and vibrant. Le Compte Calvados Originel, the flagship product, boasts an exquisite aroma of ripe yellow apples, green pears, peach, and white grapes, immersed in a blend of honey and spice. The initial taste reveals a plush and medium-bodied palate, featuring apple flavors infused with fennel, baked in a crispy filo dough brushed with honey-butter and sprinkled with cinnamon. As the drink concludes, a harmonious balance of fruit exposes the distinct influence of oak, characterized by notes of caramel and butterscotch, complemented by a clean and dry mineral undertone that gradually dissipates, leaving behind a lingering apple sensation. Established almost a century ago, Le Compte Calvados is a renowned apple brandy originating from the Normandy region in France. Nestled in the heart of the Pays D'Auge in Notre Dame de Courson village, the Le Compte distillery sources a variety of apples from ancient orchards in the area. This delightful Calvados can be enjoyed as a splendid aperitif or incorporated in a 'trou Normand' or other adult beverages. With its light golden hue, this spirit unveils a subtle aroma of honey and fresh pears. Similarly, the flavor profile is mild yet nuanced, showcasing hints of honey, almond, and a resin-like characteristic mid-palate, culminating in gentle notes of pear, white flowers, and ginger.
