Christian Drouin Pays d'Auge Foursquare 19 years Calvados 46.8% 700ml
$248.00
After exploring the islands of Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Martinique, it is this time in old Foursquare barrels that the latest Calvados from the Drouin house were worked for the 8th edition of the range Experimental by Christian Drouin.
Foursquare is an iconic, family-owned distillery in Barbados. It produces rums of great aromatic expression that are recognized worldwide. A 17-year-old Pays d'Auge Calvados was placed in 8 French oak barrels which had previously contained rums from the Foursquare distillery. After 17 months of maturation in these barrels, the calvados was removed and placed in freshly toasted barrels for an additional 3 months before being bottled "Christian Drouin experimental Foursquare Angels'' is one of the most intense and richest expressions we have We produced in this range. The base was a powerful 17-year-old Calvados.
The rum barrels delivered notes of brown sugar and vanilla, giving the Calvados exceptional complexity and depth. However, upon release from the barrels, I thought that spending three additional months in freshly toasted barrels would further enhance the roundness and structure of this exotic marriage for a perfect balance between these two worlds.
Tasting Notes: On the nose, this calvados awakens the senses with its captivating aromas of ripe and roasted apples, delicate vanilla, creamy caramel and brown sugar. On the palate, it reveals all its richness with suave and harmonious flavors of tropical fruits, dark chocolate and sweet spices. The finish is long and powerful, opening with notes of pine nuts and almond.

Michel Couvreur Malt Whisky Voile Note 49% 500ml
$230.00
Experience and friendship made that we did a cask exchange with Dominique Derain, wine producer at Saint Aubin. Very unique, he made matured a Chardonnay under a veil for more than 6 years, like a Vin Jaune. His wine has been labelled as "Voile Not", Dominique allowed us to give the same name to our whisky. Rich, powerful, this single malt develops very fine and subtle characters. Slightly woody with vanilly savors, enhanced by a floral elegance. With a lot of complexity, this single cask gives a beautiful length, spicy with extremly elegant golden savors. Chardonnay grapes is more discreet than usual Savagnin we know for VJ Maturation whiskies but very complex. The 30th October 2022, 430 bottles of 500ml, natural strength, have been made, no magnum because too limited. THANKS A LOT TO DOM for this great exchange!!!!
