Day 4. Sorry I'm late, had guests yesterday.
(on a sidenote, everbody loved Balvenie, everbody hated Ardbeg...more for me). Doing a double feature today.
Starting with this Calvados. My first calvados to be exact. And probably my last for a while. Hope I do better with gin....
On the nose you get cider, cinnamon, pepper and that old dusty winecellar smell that I love. For some reason a couple minutes into the glas, the smell changed. Moldy wood. Rather offputting for me.
The taste is apples with cinnamon, pepper, honey and oaky spices. Quite a bit of heat, rather enjoyable.
Aftertaste is honeyed apples and not much more.
Would rate it higher based on the initial smell and taste, but that mold note I got halfway in ruined it for me....
