40-year-old Calvados! As soon as we saw this we knew we knew we had to bring it in. From Belgian indie bottler Asta Morris (under their Asta Maurice brand) comes this four-decade-old apple brandy. Calvados can be a truly incredible spirit that is far too often overlooked. If you have an appreciation for well-matured spirits, this is a must-try.
Cask #AMF004 was distilled in 1980 and bottled in 2021, yielding only 150 bottles.

Colour: deep gold. Nose: this one's smoother yet, probably more 'meta', that is to say closer to other great old aged spirits (malt, brandies). It's not easy to deconstruct on the nose, having said that. Chalkier for sure, more on Meursault or any other high-class fatter chardonnay, with the usual walnuts, fino and vin jaune, and even raw wool. Mouth: ah yes. More on apples than the OB, a tad more rustic – in a good way. Apples and raisins, stewed, plus oranges and a touch of thyme. Finish: rather long, with a wee rubbery touch which, I believe, is common in calvados. Comments: very difficult to score, I'm really lacking references and, I would add, security.
