A versatile- classic style of Calvados from a family who has been maintaining orchards and crafting this spirit in the Pays d’Auge for five generations. 100% cider apples (a blend of about 70% bittersweet 20% sweet and 10% tart apple varieties) from their estate orchards are used brewed into cider and distilled twice over a wood-fired pot still as they have for over a century. On the nose is a mix of freshly picked and bruised red apple vanilla bean a touch of baking spice and fragrant apple blossoms. On the palate are notes of cinnamon and baked apple allspice a kick of heat on the finish and a lingering texture from the apple skins and oak tannin. This mixes very well into cocktails you might use Bourbon for or slightly chilled for drinking on its own.
