Brandy is probably one of the most elegant spirits available. France is a main player with it's Cognac, Armagnac and Calvados apelations.
Made in Normandie, Calvados is a superb representation of what an apple (and sometimes pear) distillate can yeld.
The apex of these spirits often lies in their single-cask full-proof no-additives expressions.
In this short video PM Spirits' Nicolas Palazzi presents one such single barrel: Du Tertre 2006 Calvados, aged in a unique barrel of 15 years and bottled without water added, at 55.8% alc./vol.
