Tasting

Notes

The flavours of fruit mingle with those of the spirit to produce the most fruity of all calvados.

C. Drouin has given a traditional favorite new life by substituting a boskoop apple instead of a pear inside the bottle with Pays d'Auge Calvados. Boskoops preserve better in calvados than any other type. It is harder to grow an apple in a bottle than it is a pear, because apple trees drop much of their crop as the fruit develops. Less than half of the bottles end up with an apple inside, thus making Pomme Prisonnière extremely limited. 40% ABV

Aged 5 to 12 years. Ninety percent of maturation takes place in ex-Bordeaux, and the remaining 10% happens in ex-port, ex-sherry and ex-banyuls casks. This expression starts moving away from the fresher fruit flavors towards baked apple and spices. 40% ABV
