The aging takes place in carefully selected oak barrels, which give Calvados a enveloping structure with vibrant notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and a delicate spicy hint that harmoniously blends with the natural sweetness of the apples. On the palate, it is balanced, elegant, with a persistence that evokes the breezes of the Norman maquis. Ideal as a digestif, it pairs beautifully with aged cheeses or apple-based desserts, enhancing their flavors without overpowering them.
This ExperiMental Hine Angels is designed for those who seek a Calvados with a distinctive personality, capable of telling the story of a territory rich in tradition through every sip. A sensory journey that unites artisanal genius and gustatory innovation.

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.
