About this bottle

Roger Groult distills Calvados in the Pays d'Auge region of France, in Saint-Cyr-du-Ronceray.

After two distillations, it is aged in old Limousin oak barrels for a minimum of three years, with some older Calvados blended in as well.

AnttiRG 3.0

An intense, rare double aged Réserve Calvados by Roger Groult Calvados Distillery in Pays d’Auge, Normandy, France. The cider is aged for a full year prior to double-distillation; then the resulting spirit is aged for 3 more years in old Limousin oak barrels on site with a small amount of much older Calvados. It has a crisp & tart birth with notes of shortbread & warm cream; while a candied & spicy life adds notes of autumn fruits, lush tannins, hints of caramel & vanilla; that leads to a dry & clean death with hints of hazelnut & mint.

Verninator 4.3

Very dry and a hint of smokiness. Nice apple tartness on the way out.
