Clear Creek Distillery Clear Creek Distillery Eau de Vie de Pomme NV 375ml

A very worthy competitor to the best Calvados. They crush and ferment the whole apple, using Golden Delicious apples from their orchards on the northeast slope of Mt. Hood. This high proof apple spirit is aged in old Cognac barrels, made of limousin oak, for as many as eight years. The result is a beautiful amber brandy, with a remarkable amount of apple in the nose, but with the sophistication and complexity gained from all those years in oak. This has a lot of appeal to the traditional brandy drinker as well, as its color and barrel aged qualities are more familiar. You can pour this alongside the best Calvados.
