Calvados
This is Calvados from the Pays d’Auge, where production is by Double distillation. This is the method of Cognac production and more subtle than the single distillation used in the greater part of Normandy.
The balance and complexity of the final product comes from the time passed in oak barrels in the cellars.
We offer a range of oak-aged and vintage Calvados to tempt the palate, some in extremely limited supply, from the young & fiery to the old & toffee-smooth.
Prices below are our retail prices including VAT – we are pleased to be able to supply individual bottles by mail order – postage and packing are charged extra.
