Calvados ExperiMental Foursquare Angels 70cl - Drouin is a distillate that combines the traditions of Normandy with an exotic and innovative touch. Born from apples selected from the renowned lands of the French region, this Calvados represents a rare combination of classic French aging and the unique influence of the Foursquare territory in Barbados, where it undergoes a maturation phase in rum barrels.

The result is a product with a rich and enveloping olfactory complexity: scents of ripe apple intertwine with delicate notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, and sweet spices, imparted by the passage through exotic woods. On the palate, it is elegant and structured, with a balance between fruity freshness and the softness of vanilla tones, evolving into a persistent and pleasantly spiced finish.

Ideal as a digestif or as the star of refined cocktails, this Calvados is perfect for those who love to discover new expressions of tradition, with a fascinating territorial imprint and a recognizable character. A sensory journey between Normandy and the Caribbean, telling stories of distant yet surprisingly complementary flavors.

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)
