Since the 1800s, the Camut family has cultivated apple trees on their expansive 115-acre estate in the Pays d’Auge. Currently, brothers Jean Gabriel and Emmanuel Camut manage the property with minimal external assistance. Every piece of fruit is meticulously hand-harvested at its peak ripeness from September to mid-December. Réserve d`Adrien embodies a rich and aromatic character, boasting plenty of complexity, a trait one would anticipate from a calvados crafted from spirits aged between 35 and 50 years.

With 35- to 40-year-old brandies in the blend, Camut’s wonderful Réserve d’Adrien shows how long aging can transform apple spirits into something truly amazing. The swirling aromas and flavors of this deep, dark amber spirit are hard to pinpoint: Earthy, leafy, baked, spice, and the telltale notes of elusive rancio like grilled walnut and worn leather. On the palate, it’s incredibly fresh, expansive, creamy on the midpalate, yet has great structure. Flavors of apple peel, warm citrus, cedar and cigar box, with a lingering finish of bitter chocolate and coffee. This is a Calvados for a long night, either with great friends or in contemplative solitude. (AOC Pays d’Auge 41% abv.)Jason Wilson1st November 2018
