E. Dupont Calvados Pays d'Auge Laphroaig Barrel Finish
| Availability: | In stock |
Every now and then a bottle comes along that makes even seasoned drinkers raise an eyebrow and smile, and this one is exactly that kind of magic. Dupont’s Calvados Pays d’Auge starts life as elegant, orchard-bright apple brandy from Normandy. Then the real alchemy happens. It’s transferred into retired Laphroaig whisky barrels, where weeks of slow rest pull in waves of peaty smoke, sea spray, toasted vanilla, and a warm whisky glow. The result is wild in the best way: crisp apple meets campfire, honeyed fruit meets salty peat, fresh citrus lifts through a whisper of maritime smoke. It is layered, generous, and surprisingly seamless.
This is a dream pour after a holiday feast, tucked beside a cheese board, or paired with a dark chocolate truffle. It plays well with cigars, cozy nights, and anyone who loves an adventurous sip. It is Calvados, but with an Islay accent. And it is extremely fun to drink.
