Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Andheri and picked up Le Calvados De Christian Drouin. At ₹8,900 in Mumbai, this represents incredible value. The notes of Ripe apple and Vanilla pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Kheema Pav. Highly recommended!”

“A highly sophisticated Calvados by Le Calvados. Wonderfully smooth on the throat with subtle hints of Ripe apple and Honey. Serving this neat during a family gathering in Bandra was a major hit, especially alongside local Kheema Pav!”

“I'm thoroughly impressed by Le Calvados's execution here. The palate is extremely rich with a refined finish highlighting Vanilla. At the Mumbai price of ₹8,900, it's easily one of the best choices in its segment paired with Baked Sandesh.”
