Berneroy XO Calvados 40%

Notes - Berneroy is situated in the heart of the Pays d'Auge region in Northern France. Cider is produced which is then double distilled in pot stills which gives a smooth spirit that greatly improves with oak ageing. The Berneroy XO is a blend of Calvados which has been aged for approximately 25 years of age in Limousin oak casks. A distinctive nose of stewed apples with a hint of pear slowly evolves with age to develop more complex aromas of butter, vanilla, baked apple and liquorice. The rich harmony of flavours makes it a perfect aperitif or will compliment fine cheeses. Calvados is the basis of the tradition of le trou Normand, or "the Norman hole". This is a small drink of Calvados taken between courses in a very long meal, sometimes with apple sorbet, supposed to re-awaken the appetite. This replaces the Berneroy No 25.
