Le Calvados Pays d’Auge de Christian Drouin X.O is produced in the Pays d’Auge area of Normandy from bitter, bitter-sweet, sweet and sharp cider apples by double distillation in copper stills, XO is aged in small previously-used casks, including some former wine casks.
The blend also contains some spirits aged in former fortified wine casks and brandy casks, adding further sweetness and complexity. X.O thus offers an appetising fruitiness over ripe apple flavours, combining smooth elegance with the first hints of spices.
The House of Drouin was established in Normandy in 1960 and has been making premium apple brandy ever since. Still family-owned, the brandy is made using a meticulous distillation process of perfectly ripe autumn apples. Christian Drouin and his son Guillaume taste every barrel in the cellar each year to decide how to blend them.
Enjoy Le Calvados Pays d’Auge de Christian Drouin X.O well chilled alongside cheeses or dark chocolate after a meal. It also shines mixed into premium cocktails like an apple brandy sour.
Dense, rich, with notes of baked apples and tarte tatin, the nose evolves towards a subtle rancio. The palate offers notes of wild apples, apricots, roasted nuts, cinnamon, oak and raisins. Enjoyably woody and warming.
