Notes

"Lively aroma of fresh-cut apple. Light, with hints of lemon and steel. Finishes with flavour of apple seeds and crushed peppercorns." - Amanda Hesser, New York Times (November 12, 2003) U.S.A.

C. Drouin Blanche de Normandie

With a nod to the traditions of Normandy, this apple brandy is double distilled and allowed to rest in stainless steel tanks for 18 months. Water is gradually added to bring down to proof and to gently aerate, helping the spirit become rounder and smoother. Blanche de Normandie harnesses a lively fresh apple fragrance and is well-suited for use in cocktails. 40% ABV

C. Drouin Le Gin

Double distilled in small copper pot stills, Le Gin is a harmonious blend of eight exotic botanicals and 30 varieties of apples found on the Christian Drouin estate. 42% ABV

C. Drouin 'Pomme Prisonnière' Pays d'Auge 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
