Outer quote mark Pinning down the term hors d??age is a moving target, but this bottling by Michel Huard stands at the older end, with a minimum of 10-year-old spirits, along with a significant percentage that is more than 25 years old. 
 
Golden-colored, it opens with a gorgeous, old-time nose - rustic in the best sense of the word. There??s woodiness here, from the nose to the finish, but it??s an attractive virtue, with deep and well-integrated. There??s balanced aromas and flavors of tarte tatin, with notes of pepper and even salted licorice. 
 
In the mouth, it??s expansive, like a blanket in the mouth that says 'comfort me with apples' all the way through the long finish. This might be the Calvados to convert a bourbon drinker to the pleasures of apple brandy. An excellent value to boot for such a high-quality spirit
