Claque-Pepin 30 Yr. Calvados

This is a bottling that shows its age in a very pleasant way with a complex aroma set of caramelized apples, werther’s original hard candy, cooked pears in syrup, forest floor, cinnamon, and all-spice. The palate is very well balanced with flavors of black licorice, light apple, uncooked apple pie filling, butter, and some savory earth notes. This pleasantly lingers on the palate for 40+ seconds. Enjoy!  D&M Tasting Notes

The name Claque-Pepin itself comes from an ancient Normandy apple variety. Being quite literal, the apple has a small, hollow cavity that allows its seeds to click against each other like a Norman castanet when shaken. Most of Louvet’s purchases come from the Domfrontais, an area he adores not only for its pear-based fruit but also for the forward flavors that its single-distillation brings. Having worked as a blender in his previous corporate life he does have stock from the Pays d’Auge, and usually combines both regions into his various releases. His sources vary from medium-sized distillers scattered around the countryside to the hidden stock of paysans who have never sold a bottle in their lives. In addition to the older releases that we have for you, he has converted to organic production and has even gotten the next generation involved in the family business from a tender age Michael Kennel, D&M
