Swell de Spirits Experimental Series Eau de Vie du Cidre Garnier Calvados 2003

This Swell de Spirits Experimental Series Eau de Vie du Cidre Garnier Calvados 2003 bottling belongs to the Experimental series and contains a 19-year-old Calvados, which was finished in an ex-rum cask from the Jamaican Long Pond Distillery. This Calvados sings the song of the esters – and it’s a dirty one! A fencing match with leather gloves and polished foils, the people around pass boxes of apple jelly.
