How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Fresh apple and pear aromas mingle with hints of vanilla, oak, and subtle spice. A touch of butterscotch and dried fruit adds complexity, while faint notes of earth and mushroom provide depth.

Palate: Rich and full-bodied, with flavors of baked apple, caramel, and toasted nuts. Dried apricot and plum notes emerge, accompanied by a pleasant tannic structure. A subtle rancio character adds maturity, balanced by a crisp acidity that keeps things lively.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of cinnamon, clove, and dried apple. A gentle oakiness persists, along with a whisper of green herbs. The finish tapers off gradually, leaving a satisfying warmth and subtle fruitiness on the palate.

Adrien Camut 6 Year Calvados Pays d'Auge is crafted from 100% apples grown in traditional hautes-tiges orchards, with the cider fermented in wood for nearly a year before being twice distilled in wood-fired copper pot stills. The spirit then rests for at least 6 years in large, partially-filled Limousin oak vessels, allowing for gentle oxidation that contributes to its complex flavor profile.

The Camut family uses rainwater to proof their Calvados, believing it adds a unique softness and purity to the final spirit that tap water simply can't match.

Adrien Camut's Calvados is aged in oversized barrels filled only 75% full, allowing for increased oxidation that contributes to its complex flavor profile and subtle rancio notes.

Many of the apples used in this Calvados come from "hautes-tiges" (high-stem) orchards, where trees can grow up to 50 feet tall and live for over a century, producing fruit with intense flavors and high tannin content.
