In the ExperiMental Long Pond Angels, tradition is combined with careful experimentation: distillation takes place in copper stills and the maturation occurs in oak barrels, a choice that imparts aromatic depth with notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and light spice that emerge harmoniously on the nose.
On the palate, there is a perfect balance between freshness and softness, with a persistent and slightly savory finish reflecting the origin soil. It is ideal to be enjoyed at room temperature as a digestif, but also pairs well with aged cheeses and refined dishes based on white meats. A calvados that tells the story of a unique territory through an innovative production method respectful of tradition.

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.
