Calvados Dupont Pays d'Auge - More than 12 y.o.
- Price:
- Excl. VAT: £64.79 Incl. VAT: £77.75
Dupont are probably the finest traditional calvados producer in Normandy. We believe that calvados younger than about 8 years old is best used in cooking but this 12 year old blend is a fine example of their understanding of this fine spirit. Learn More -

Calvados Dupont Pays d'Auge - More than 30 y.o.
- Price:
- Excl. VAT: £145.07 Incl. VAT: £174.08
The 30 year old Dupont calvados is quite special as it has many fine qualities only associated with much older calvados. Dupont hs always made superb calvados and this is no exception. A very large difficulty with making calvados is the need to use pears for acidity which leave a pear drop flavour. In the 30 y.o. the pear drop aroma and flavour is not very noticeable and it is well balanced and smooth. Learn More -
