Drouin Calvados Experimental Clarendon Angels is a spirit presented in a 70 cl bottle, intended for those who want to explore less conventional interpretations of the Calvados tradition. The word “Experimental” indicates a distinctive project from the house, while the reference to Clarendon Angels identifies this particular expression. Its name is therefore the key to distinguishing it from other Calvados bottlings in the Drouin range. The available information does not specify a vintage, blend, alcohol strength, maturation period or type, nor does it provide a detailed aroma or flavour profile. For this reason, no precise tasting notes or unconfirmed characteristics are attributed to the product. The 70 cl bottle may suit a dedicated tasting, the expansion of a spirits collection or a gift for curious enthusiasts interested in discovering Drouin’s experimental offerings. Before purchasing, checking the alcohol strength and any further details in the technical data sheet is recommended.

Distillation

Double distillation in a 2,500 L repasse pot still; first distillation to obtain the 'petites eaux' (~30°), second distillation to ~70°, with heads and tails cuts calibrated according to the quality of the cider.

Ageing

Aging primarily in small French oak barrels (many reused casks) that promote pronounced wood–air exchange; use of barrels previously used for Sherry, Port and Banyuls to add color and complexity; racking and blending carried out in larger casks when necessary.

Raw materials

cider apples (various cider apple varieties)
