酒鬼系列 -- Calvados

Calvados is an apple brandy from the French région of Basse-Normandie or Lower Normandy.

calvados 係蘋果酒
(原來有d有加梨的)
係法國北部諾曼第的特產
嗰度d人多數種蘋果
所以呢會用蘋果 (pommes) 釀酒


大家平時飲的apple cidre (cidre)
再蒸餾呢
會變咗calvados
(有d產區會加入 poire
即係用梨汁發酵而成的)
諗起都香

calvados 可以淨飲
on the rock又得
用來做cocktail都得 (香港呢four season hotel summer menu 有一杯唔錯的 最近轉咗lu)
仲可以用來加上crepe度
變成crepe flambee

講番諾曼第
法文有個term叫

le trou normand

係指兩度菜多間serve一小杯calvados
用來醒醒胃 消化下
但近年會以sorbet代替
(et前年就花咗200大元
食咗一餐有sorbet served的lunch)

-----------------------------------
仲有一樣得意野
如果將d未發酵的蘋果汁
加入calvados度
得咗
pommeau
((我都唔記得自己有冇飲過))

Tasting note: Medium copper/brown colour with aromas of spiced apple, orange rind and vanilla. Dry, spicy/warm with excellent apple and orange rind tones replaying on the palate. Medium full-bodied with a long, cooling finish. (David Churchill, VINTAGES, Sept. 2004)
