My first calvados. Okay, technically, 2nd...but the first didn't count, since I bought a bottom shelf one to make a sauce. ( try it...pumpkin cheesecake, topped with calvados sauce...really good). This is fall packaged in a bottle. Smells like green apples and crisp cider. Sweet taste like honey dipped apple slices. Not sure I'd like to make this a regular item, but it's really good in the right context ( fall, chilly night, and a full stomach).
