7 of the Best Calvados – The Independent
“This luxurious French spirit will bring a touch of sophistication to any home bar” says The Independent about the lesser known French brandy, Calvados. The article features 7 of the best on the market including our very popular Chateau du Breuil 15 Year Old Pays d’Auge Calvados. “Winner of a gold at the International Wine & Spirit Competition, you don’t have to just take our word for it that its good.” We have always loved this beautifully presented calvados from the top cru. “With its waxed lid and red-rope fastening, opening a bottle of this one feels like a ceremony in itself.” The presentation is matched admirably by its aroma and flavour ….. Imagine the smell as a child, coming home from school just as granny is taking a fruit cake out of the oven, this calvados is full of sultana and baked apple aromas and a rich baked apple taste. It is made from 80% fallen apples (which have a higher sugar content) and these account for its unique and delicious flavour. So, with Father’s Day around the corner, what are you waiting for?
