Like all Drouin Pays d'Auge bottlings, this is made from 100% apples, and distilled in wood-fired antique stills over direct flame. The wood policy relies heavily on reconditioned ex-Bordeaux barrels, but sometimes adds shades of complexity by using sherry, port, and cognac casks, as well as some more exotic choices. Their Hors d'Age is aged over 15 years.

Out of the few calvados' I've had the pleasure of trying as they are pretty rare in Ontario, this would be best I've had to date. Very interesting notes blended with acidity and sweetness as one would expect from a Calvados. $82 in Ontario.
