**We sold out of our original 1982 release immediately last year. But we were able to negotiate a small final restock from the Lemortons this past December to arrive with our 1985 selection! 2 bottles max per person, please.** Appellation: Calvados DomfrontaisDistilled in: 1982Aged: in large oak foudres in a humid cellarABV: 51%Bottled: December 2025 Tasting notes: The 1982 is simply a perfect example of why we love Lemorton. It is a seductive and complex cask with superb transitions and notes of apple pear caramel and buttered pie, light vanilla, and hints of tobacco for structure. More about Lemorton: Didier Lemorton and his wife Martine make the finest single-distilled brandies in all of Normandy — exquisite, nectar-of-the-gods Calvados that are clean, deep with tons of soul. They use a majority of pear, rather than apple, which lends a beautiful complexity to the final spirit and never reduce their spirits during aging, a true rarity in the region. Everything we’ve tasted in their cellar, from the new-make to the 50-year old plus stock, is fruit loaded, complex and palate-coating. **These are the first-ever cask-strength selections bottled by the house. A reminder: our quantities are very limited. 2 bottles maximum per person, please.
