Upon first acquaintance with the glass, one discovers a most beguiling aromatic composition — vanilla weaves its sweet, creamy thread through the tapestry of scents, whilst the bright notes of citrus dance alongside whispers of distant tropical shores. We leave such particulars — which specific fruits reveal themselves, which memories they conjure, which distant orchards or sun-warmed groves they evoke — to the connoisseur's own senses and imagination, for each nose shall reveal its own truth, and every revelation proves equally valid in the democracy of pleasure.

The first sip presents a character most gentle and obliging. Upon the tongue, the spirit proves remarkably mellow — neither harsh nor timid, but rather possessed of that agreeable middle way which the ancients called the golden mean. It caresses rather than assaults, persuades rather than demands, and in so doing demonstrates the patience and craft of its making.

As the liquid takes its leave, a subtle denouement unfolds: the quiet dignity of light oak makes itself known, accompanied by the delicate, almost sylvan character of birch. These closing notes linger with restraint and elegance, like the final chord of a well-composed sonnet — present enough to be appreciated, yet refined enough not to overstay their welcome.

Serving proposals

This spirit, we humbly submit, requires little ceremony or embellishment to reveal its virtues. It may be enjoyed neat, as nature and the distiller intended—a purist's approach that allows each nuance to present itself unadorned.

Should one prefer, a few drops of pure water may be added, which, like drawing back a curtain, permits certain hidden aromas to emerge into the light. The water acts as key to unlock chambers previously closed.

For those who favour a cooling element, a single, modest cube of ice serves admirably, tempering the spirit's warmth whilst preserving its essential character. More than this, we caution, risks drowning the subtle voice of the whiskey beneath a deluge of dilution.

In all cases, the choice remains with the drinker — for in matters of taste, as in matters of the heart, each must follow their own compass.

The initial impression presents a refined and inviting bouquet—the gentle embrace of vanilla mingles harmoniously with the lively essence of citrus, while deeper notes of dried fruits add a contemplative richness to the experience. We entrust the precise identification — whether one detects figs or dates, raisins or apricots, summer's bounty preserved for winter reflection — entirely to the aficionado's own senses and imagination, recognizing that individual perception grants each tasting its unique and personal character.

When brought to the lips, this whiskey displays admirable gentleness. The palate encounters neither harshness nor timidity, but rather a supple, velvety quality that speaks to its careful creation. It flows smoothly, offering comfort and satisfaction without demanding attention through force or intensity.

The conclusion brings forth subtle woodland notes: delicate oak provides a foundation of quiet strength, while cedar contributes its distinctive aromatic quality — slightly spiced, faintly resinous. These closing impressions depart gracefully, leaving behind a pleasant memory rather than an insistent presence.

Serving proposals

This spirit rewards simplicity in its presentation. Served without addition, it offers the most faithful representation of the distiller's intention — an honest expression unencumbered by alteration.

Those who wish may introduce a small quantity of water, which often encourages reluctant aromas to emerge and can soften the spirit's natural vigor. The addition serves as gentle persuasion rather than transformation.

A single ice cube offers refreshment on warmer occasions, providing coolness while respecting the whiskey's fundamental nature. Greater quantities risk obscuring the very qualities that merit appreciation.

The choice of presentation belongs to the drinker, for personal preference remains the ultimate arbiter in such matters.

The nose delivers an immediate and unmistakable tribute to its orchard origins—crisp apples form the heart of the experience, accompanied by the warming spice of cinnamon. Woven through these primary themes are whispers of dried fruits, the surprising sweetness of banana, and vanilla's familiar comfort. The specific nature of those preserved fruits — their individual identities and particular sweetness — remains a discovery reserved for the devotee's own exploration, as personal recognition adds depth to appreciation.

Upon tasting, one finds an intriguing duality: the spirit proves fundamentally smooth and accommodating, yet carries with it a pleasant, lively itch — a gentle reminder of its strength and vitality. This characteristic neither offends nor overwhelms, but rather adds dimension and interest to what might otherwise be overly placid. The liquid possesses body and presence without heaviness.

The farewell brings forward two distinct wood influences: oak lends its time-honored character, while maple introduces an unexpected but thoroughly agreeable sweetness, echoing the brandy's fruit-forward nature. These final notes withdraw gradually, permitting reflection upon what has passed.

This calvados asks little in the way of ceremony. Presented as distilled, it communicates most directly, offering an unmediated conversation between spirit and palate.

Should one desire, a few drops of water may unlock additional complexity, drawing forth shy elements that prefer gentle encouragement to reveal themselves.

On occasions when temperature proves a consideration, a modest cube of ice provides welcome relief while maintaining the brandy's essential dignity. Excessive cold, however, mutes the very fragrances and flavours that justify attention.

As always, individual taste guides the hand — there exists no universal prescription for pleasure.
