Aged to golden perfection in the heart of the Pays d’Auge, Busnel 12 Year X.O. is a velvet revolution of apples and oak — refined, rebellious, and ready to waltz across your palate like a dashing French rogue.

"Carefully, calmly and precisely, Busnel's distillers and cellar masters distill and blend traditional Calvados using their unique expertise. Patient and persistent, they know that a product with such a fine ancestry deserves special attention and thorough care over a number of years. When you taste Busnel Calvados, you discover unique spirits that combine balance, carefully judged proportions and harmonious flavors."

"Opening nosings offer concentrated oak, paraffin/melted candle and baked apple; bouquet expands incrementally as raisiny/pruny/dried red fruit and cocoa override the wood and wax aromas. Palate entry is long, properly oily and full-bodied; the flavor profile turns raisiny, chocolaty and coffee-like, with just a hint of seared pork sausage. Finishes long, fat, buttery and fruity." 90-95 Points Wine Enthusiast
