Christian Drouin, père, began distilling Calvados in 1960 after purchasing a farmhouse and surrounding orchards, only to find little demand for his apples. Luckily a family friend with his portable still came to the rescue. The mobile stills built in 1947 are still in use at the Drouin estate, where they found their permanent home. The VSOP bottling is a blend of eaux-de-vie that have aged between five and twelve years.

Smooth, with a long warming finish. Excellent calvados and just as good as the stuff we brought back from Normandy a few years ago. The trouble is we can’t find it for sale anywhere in the USA. Total Wine doesn’t carry this any longer.
Long finish. Spicy with cinnamon coming through
