NORMANDY CALVADOS AOC – Christian Drouin Sélection is a young AOC Calvados from a third-generation family house in Normandy, made with cider apples and perry pears grown around Domfront CRISP APPLE AND PEAR – Expect fresh-cut apple and juicy pear on the nose, then a light, lively palate with hints of lemon zest before a clean finish of apple pip and cracked black pepper COLUMN STILL CRAFT – Unlike Drouin's double-distilled Pays d'Auge range, Sélection is distilled once in a column still and aged in oak for at least two years, keeping the fruit bright and the wood in the background MADE FOR MIXING – Built as a cocktail base, it is just as good on the rocks, topped up with tonic or ginger ale for a long drink, or poured over apple sorbet as a traditional trou normand GIFT FOR BRANDY LOVERS – A 70cl bottle at 40% ABV from an award-winning Normandy family house, it makes a thoughtful present for home bartenders, cocktail fans or anyone new to Calvados
