Le Clos d'Orval Calvados 12 Years Old

Review: Le Clos d'Orval Calvados12 Years Old #Calvados #LeClosdOrval

An excellent aperitif, and could also make for an interesting alternative to your after-dinner dram of whisky. What I say Very impressed with their 25 Year old but perhaps that was not the best indicator of their output,…
