About this spirit
Christian Drouin 1970 Calvados is a rare vintage from Normandy’s renowned Pays d’Auge, crafted with patience and aged for decades in fine oak casks. This distinguished spirit reflects the heritage and expertise of the Drouin family, offering depth, elegance and a character that appeals to collectors and lovers of aged eaux-de-vie alike. In the glass it shows a deep golden bronze colour with warm amber highlights. The nose is refined and layered, opening with aromas of baked apple tart and ripe orchard fruit, before developing notes of leather, biscuit and a gentle rancio character, underpinned by toasted almonds and subtle oak. On the palate it is smooth and richly textured, bringing flavours of cooked apple and pear balanced with honeyed tones, brown sugar and delicate spice from the cask. Hints of citrus peel and leather add complexity, while the structure remains harmonious and elegant. The finish is long and lingering, carrying echoes of honeyed fruit and soft oak with a gentle warmth that invites another sip. This vintage Calvados is both a collector’s treasure and a refined digestif, a spirit to savour slowly for its remarkable balance and maturity.
