Current Stock:

An Exceptional Calvados that is a wonderful winter dram and also an exceptional ingredient for a special cocktail.

Creamy slightly fatty entry with delicious woodiness from the oak aging without the char or tiredness that extended aging in the wrong wood or wrong barrels can bring on. Subtle spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon notes with a pleasing long afterglow of a finish.
A very complex Calvados with an unmatched subtlety that truly shines.

The Producer

Chateau du Breuil is a relative newcomer to Calvados having been established in 1954. Located in Breuil en Auge, a small town in the Normandy area in the heart of the Calvados region. This region is also noted for its cheeses, butter, cider, and Pommeau.
Located on the grounds of the national landmark Chateau du Breuil, the distillery itself was originally a cheese factory and the aging warehouse was the stable and carriage house ( a very large one) with some breathtaking architecture ( Hint; it looks like the timberwork of the hull of a wooden ship – since most of the carpenters in the area built ships nearby they carried over a tried and true layout which is breathtaking) .
