This Calvados is the result of a particular experimentation, which enhances distillation in traditional stills along with methods and refinements aimed at highlighting fresh and vibrant notes. On the nose, it opens with aromas of crisp green apple, with hints of red fruits and a delicate spiciness given by aging in oak barrels. On the palate, it reveals itself soft, with a smooth texture and a persistence that recalls ripe fruit and a light balsamic touch.
Perfect both for tasting neat and as a base for classy cocktails, the Calvados Mars Angels fully expresses the richness of the Norman terroir and Drouin’s passion for the art of distillation. It pairs excellently with apple-based desserts or aged cheeses, delivering an enveloping and memorable sensory experience.

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.
