Tasting Notes Profile:

Nose:
Deep, layered, and aromatic, the nose opens with notes of baked apples, poached pear, and dried apricot, wrapped in an elegant shroud of oak spice and old leather. Hints of caramel, walnut, and fig develop with time, while subtle notes of pipe tobacco, nutmeg, and a whisper of rancio suggest its venerable age.

Palate:
Silky and full-bodied, the palate delivers a luxurious texture with waves of candied apple, honey-glazed nuts, and orange marmalade. The oak influence is masterfully integrated—supplying depth without dominance—allowing secondary flavors of spice cake, dark chocolate, and dried flowers to unfold. The 40% ABV provides a smooth, measured delivery of its richness.

Finish:
Long, warming, and refined. Lingering flavors of apple tart, vanilla pod, and toasted almond taper into a soft, spiced fade with a touch of antique wood and gentle smoke.

Overall:
Lecompte 25 Ans d’Âge is a masterpiece of aged Calvados—a spirit that rewards patience with poise. Rich, mature, and deeply aromatic, it reflects the soul of Normandy’s orchards through the lens of time. Presented in a handsome gift box, it is the perfect expression for connoisseurs of aged brandy, offering complexity akin to a fine Cognac or Armagnac, with the unmistakable apple-driven elegance of Calvados. Ideal for sipping after dinner or marking a truly special occasion.
