Picked this up at a liquor store in Paris. Double distilled and made from apples and pears from Normandy. Nose: Almost exactly like apple juice with a little more spice to it. Palate: Baked apples. Apples and brown sugar dance pleasantly on the palate. Not overly sweet and there is a great cinnamon spiciness to it. Finish: Finish is relatively short with some of the spiciness from the palate lingering. As a fan of baked apples and apple cider I enjoyed this. A nice change from the typical grape brandy that also manages to capture the original fruit in the distillate. À Votre Santé!
