Roger Groult Calvados 25 Year (750ml)

Roger Groult Calvados 25 Year is a profoundly mature Pays d’Auge Calvados that highlights the elegance and longevity of traditionally crafted Norman apple brandy. Produced by the historic Groult family estate in Normandy, the spirit is made from estate-grown cider apples, double distilled in copper pot stills, and aged slowly in oak for a quarter century.

With twenty-five years of maturation, the Calvados develops remarkable depth and textural richness while still preserving a vibrant orchard-fruit core. The nose unfolds with baked apple, roasted pear, honeycomb, walnut, dried apricot, vanilla, spice cake, polished wood, and earthy cellar notes layered with gentle oxidative complexity. On the palate, it is velvety and contemplative with flavors of caramelized orchard fruit, toasted almond, orange peel, leather, tobacco, cocoa, and baking spice balanced by lifted acidity and beautifully integrated oak.

What makes older Roger Groult bottlings so compelling is their ability to remain vividly apple-driven despite extended aging. The oak adds savory complexity and structure without overwhelming the freshness and natural elegance of the fruit.

This is a deeply rewarding after-dinner spirit for lovers of mature Cognac, Armagnac, and old-world European brandies, offering extraordinary nuance and refinement with every sip.
