Calvados (apple brandy) is the classic drink of Normandy. Some producers use as many as 100 different apple varieties, many unique to the region, in pursuit of the flavour profile they envision. Classically enjoyed as a digestif after a big meal, Calvados is also exceptional as a contemplation libation from a snifter, just as you’d enjoy a cognac. |
