Calvados

Sélection achieves this harmony by combining the sharp freshness of perry pears with the smoothness of cider apples. The ciders and perries are distilled in a column still and then aged in old, often used casks that preserve the subtle balance of this Calvados with its appetizing fragrance of fresh fruit. Recommended to those who appreciate Calvados as a long drink at aperitif time, it is also well suited to the preparation of cocktails, and for gourmet recipes. Producer Description.

A young calvados with a golden hue, a pronounced aroma of apples, and a soft mouth feel. This quality is a blend of apples and pears which come mostly from the Domfrontais area. Ideal as an aperitif, mixed in cocktails, or for cooking. Producer Description.

The Wine Enthusiast writes: Bright, fresh aromas suggest apple and apricot. The soft, spiced palate shows stone fruit and coconut drizzled with honey, finishing with a baking spice exhale. 92 Points Wine Enthusiast.

These two spirits share richness, sweetness and complexity; the Calvados lends an intensity and length to the finish which enhances the character of the Scotch whiskies. Serve over ice, mix with amari and vermouth into a unique twist on a boulevardier, or pair with a deliciously sweet tarte tatin. Producer Description.

A good balance of younger apple brandies and smoky, spicy aromas, full bodied flavor and lingering taste of older components. Fruit, flower and spice blend harmoniously on the nose. Long on the palate while remaining light. Recommended for the “trou normand” or to accompany a Livarot cheese. Excellent savored after-dinner. Producer Description.

The classic, beautiful bottle and rich tones of the Busnel Vieille Reserve VSOP Calvados du Pays d'Auge make it a must have for any brandy or cognac enthusiast. The lovely presentation also lends this bottle to elegant and stylish gift giving. The spirit itself delivers an apple-filled flavor that is backed by tones of oak, baked goods and pear. Lovely with a fruity dessert after dinner. Producer Description.
