Calvados Morin 70cl is an exceptional distillate that originates from Normandy, a French region notably renowned for its production of superior quality calvados. This specific expression, bottled by the historic House of Morin founded in 1889, is a tribute to the skilled distillation work and the art of aging.
Embodying the essence of carefully selected apples, Calvados Morin is distilled following traditional methods that enhance the natural aromatic profile of the fruit. After distillation, the liquor rests in oak barrels, which grants the calvados extraordinary complexity, enriching it with vanilla and woody tones that blend perfectly with the freshness of the apple.
Visually, it presents a bright and captivating golden amber color. On the nose, Calvados Morin reveals an intense aromatic bouquet, where notes of baked apple are linked with hints of cinnamon and caramel, with an underlying light toastiness imparted by the wood maturation. On the palate, it starts soft and harmonious, followed by a balanced alcohol content that opens to a medium-full body. The flavors of ripe apples and sweet spices give way to a persistent and delicately spiced aftertaste.
Ideal to savor neat, slightly chilled, or as a base for sophisticated cocktails, Calvados Morin 70cl embodies the art of French distillation and is a true pleasure for connoisseurs. This versatile spirit not only underscores the fineness of a meal but is also perfect as a digestif, offering an elegant closure to a refined evening.

The story
The history of Calvados Morin began in 1889 in La Haye-de-Calleville; the family's trading activity later moved to Brionne and finally to Ivry-la-Bataille, where the maison maintains troglodyte cellars and ageing facilities. Over time the house has specialized in blending and ageing Calvados across different age categories and is recognized nationally and internationally.
Distillation
Distillation of cider to obtain the eau-de-vie; a process described as traditional and artisanal with particular attention to the selection of "alcools de coeur" before blending.
Ageing
Ageing in oak casks (Limousin oak) in both dry and humid chais, followed by further maturation in underground troglodyte caves; ageing practices include the use of small barrels for long-aged expressions.
