AGING: 45 YEARS IN FRENCH OAK
This single cask was distilled at Cave Normande in the commune of Saint-Cyr-du-Bailleul in Normandy. A terroir somewhat forgotten in the grand scheme of Calvados, it is one full of farm producers who often know better than anyone else how to manage their orchards in order to produce immaculate cider and spirits.
The raw material for this single cask was 50% apples and 50% pears grown in an orchard with trees ranging from 20 to 200 years old. All 15 apple varieties utilized are of the highly phenolic type, complemented by 12 varieties of pears. Distilled on a small, mobile, wood-fired column still, this Calvados slumbered for 45 years in French Oak before being bottled at cask strength. Alexandre
