Huge apple and pear notes. Fruity, crisp, and a tad bracing. Hot on the pallet and with a bit of rustic vibe. First Calvados I've tried, so the closest point of comparison I have is some nicer bottles of Lairds.
About this bottle
For his entry-level calvados, Drouin chooses apples and pears from the Domfront region, and single-column distillation (as opposed to the double-distillation in a pot still used for his other spirits) to create a lighter, earlier-maturing spirit. This young calvados is intended as an aperitif or to be used in cocktails.

Rich apple juice nose. Dry fruit, crushed golden raisins, some woody notes, pears. Slightly waxy.
It's fine, but move on if you're not using it for eggnog
