The ABC Aperitif from Maison Drouin is a refined tribute to French traditions, an aperitif that evokes the aromas of the Normandy region from which it originates. This product is born from a careful selection of quality raw materials, highlighting citrus notes and aromatic herbs that give the blend a vibrant and harmonious character.

In the glass, it presents a bright color and a bouquet that weaves delicate sensations of bitter orange, mandarin, and lemon zest, enriched by balsamic and slightly spicy nuances. On the palate, the ABC Aperitif stands out for its balanced freshness and pleasant savoriness, ideal for stimulating the appetite and accompanying convivial moments.

Perfect to enjoy neat or with ice, it is equally versatile in mixing, elegantly adapting to classic and original cocktails. The artisanal care in its preparation reflects the passion of the Drouin cellar for authentic products, capable of expressing the Norman terroir through a classy and easy-to-drink beverage.

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)
