Producer Description
An elegant bouquet featuring pear and baking spice, underpinned by nuances of honey, cedar, and lemon peel, alongside a subtle almond backdrop.
A lighter expression of Calvados, presenting a dry palate that gracefully marries the sweet notes of honey with the earthiness of cedar, the zesty character of lemon peel, and the nuttiness of almond.
The finish introduces a delicate interplay of lavender, nutmeg, and a hint of cayenne.
Calvados Lelouvier Vintage 1988 750ml
Memo Summary Notes
The Calvados Lelouvier Vintage 1988 is a rare, single-harvest apple brandy from one of Normandy's most respected "négociant-éleveur" houses. Lelouvier is famous for sourcing exceptional small-batch distillations from the Domfrontais and South Normandy regions and aging them to perfection in their own cellars.
Pairing: This is a classic "digestif." It pairs beautifully with aged Camembert or Pont-l'Évêque cheese, or a high-quality dark chocolate tart.

Compass Box Affnity Blend of Scotch Whisky & Calvados 750ml
Producer Description
Orchard fruit notes are common to both Calvados and Scotch malt whisky. Many Calvados producers double-distil in pot stills, just like their Scottish cousins. Maturation in French oak is another aspect of their shared DNA.
These two spirits share richness, sweetness and complexity; the Calvados lends an intensity and length to the finish which enhances the character of the Scotch whiskies.
Serve over ice, mix with amari and vermouth into a unique twist on a boulevardier, or pair with a deliciously sweet tarte tatin.
We think you’ll agree that these two spirits really do have an affinity for one another.
