Background

Boulard Calvados is the first name in super-premium Calvados, the celebrated apple-based spirit unique to the Normandy region of France. Boulard was founded in the late 1820's by Pierre-August Boulard. Boulard's time-honored reputation begins in the firm's 150 acres of orchards and 35,000 apple trees in the Pays d'Auge district, the officially designated source of the finest apples in Normandy. Over 120 varieties of apple, from 800 varieties grown in Boulard's orchards, are selected for production of Boulard Calvados (over twice the number of varieties stipulated by the governing body regulating Calvados production).

Aging

Calvados Boulard VSOP is the culmination of blending different Calvados Pays d'Auge from 4 to 10 years old.

Tasting Notes

Golden honey color. Rich aromas of baked apple, vanilla, oak, warming spices, light wood and toasted nut aromas. Well balanced harmony between vanilla, wood and ripe apple. It has an overall effect that reads like shortbread cookies and apple compote warmed with cinnamon stick and clove. Hints of pecan, orange peel and black pepper add complexity. Suitable for drinking on its own or is delicious in cocktails such as a Side Car or Old Fashioned.
