About this bottle

This spirit, like all Drouin Pays d'Auge bottlings, is crafted from 100% apples and distilled in wood-fired antique stills over an open flame. The aging process primarily utilizes reconditioned ex-Bordeaux barrels, occasionally incorporating sherry, port, and cognac casks, along with some less common choices for added complexity. Their Hors d'Age is aged for more than 15 years.

Galen Parish 5.0

Among the limited number of Calvados I've had the chance to try, given their scarcity in Ontario, this stands out as the finest I've encountered so far. It presents a very intriguing blend of acidity and sweetness, as one might anticipate from a Calvados. Priced at $82 in Ontario.
