Adrien Camut 18 Year Privilege Calvados Domaine de Semainville

The 18 year old is the perfect brandy. Melted toffee along with subdued notes of spiced apple and honey. Lovely round mouthfeel, with just a finishing touch of smoke and floral notes.

From the most highly respected grower in Normandy, with some of the oldest casks of Calvados around, is the Adrien Camut Family. Since the 1800s, the Camut family has grown 115 acres of apple trees in the Pays d'Auge, the finest growing region for Calvados. In Normandy, 800 types of apples are grown; the Camut family grows about 25 of these, all of which are hand-harvested at optimum maturity between October and mid-December. While pears are allowed in Calvados, only apples grown on the Camut property are used in Camut Calvados—no purchased fruit whatsoever.
