Lelouvier Calvados Hors d'Age 42% Magnum.
Lelouvier Calvados Hors d'Age is an exclusive, long-aged Calvados from Normandy, where time, tradition, and craftsmanship unite in a spirit of impressive complexity. Notes of ripe apples, dried fruit, vanilla, toasted nuts, and spices create a deep and elegant tasting experience with a remarkably long finish.
About the product
Lelouvier Calvados Hors d'Age is crafted from carefully selected Norman cider apples, fermented and distilled using traditional methods. The spirit is then aged for many years in oak casks, where it develops its characteristic depth, smoothness, and complexity.
The term "Hors d'Age" is reserved for high-quality Calvados with significant maturation. The long barrel aging imparts elegant notes of vanilla, caramel, nuts, and spices, while preserving the freshness and finesse of the apple fruit.
The result is a refined and harmonious Calvados that appeals to connoisseurs of Calvados, Cognac, and aged spirits alike.
