Christian Drouin VSOP Calvados, Normandy, France - 70cl bottle

Double distilled and aged in small 225-litre casks, Calvados VSOP offers rich aromas of ripe apple, sensuous fruit flavours,  a full body and refined character.

Former Bordeaux wine barrels are re-charred by a cooper from nearby Honfleur, then lined with cider before being used to age the eau-de-vie. The blend is finished in former sherry, port and Banyuls barrels, adding smoothness and complexity to the light amber liquid.
