This Calvados VSOP follows the strict Calvados AOC Pays d’Auge guidelines that require double-distillation in a traditional copper pot still called an “alembic á repassé.”  It is then aged for 4 years in casks that previously held Calvados.

Clear, golden color.  Aromas of caramelized apple with a slight woodsy-ness. On the palate this Calvados has a very bright and appley flavor. The finish is spicy.

The fermented cider that is used for making Pierre Huet Calvados (called calvados cidre) is fermented for 12 months in hundred-year-old oak barrels before being distilled. The Calvados is then put in oak barrels once again and aged for four years.

700ML 40% alc/vol.

The Micro-Cuvée n°3 is a unique cider distinguished by its internal complexity and notes of fresh pears. 100% organic.
This cuvée ferments for 6 months in oak barrels that previously aged chardonnay and pinot noir wines.  The barrel-fermented ciders are blended and then bottled. After the natural bubbles form, the bottles are aged 20 months on lattes before being disgorged.  
This lovely organic cider is a pale golden robe and totally clear.  A fine nose with lightly wooded notes and aromas of pears. On the palate, this cider has very fine bubbles with a balanced freshness, reinforced by tannins imparted from the wine barrels during the aging process and a bit of acidity on the finish. A dry cider with an impressive structure.  Fit for the finest of restaurants. 5.5% alc/vol.
Maison Hérout follows the cider-making tradition of their ancestors – their ciders are all organic, and fermented naturally with indigenous yeast.  The bubbles are the result of a natural effervescence and occur in the bottle.  Maison Hérout ciders are not pasteurized or carbonated.  Gluten – Free and vegan.
The Orchards
Maison Herout has 25 acres of apple orchards. The average age of the apple trees varies according to the parcels (10 to 65 years old). More than 25 varieties of apples are grown including Rouge de Cantepie, one of the original apples grown in the orchards.  The soil is maintained by being completely covered with grass.
The Terroir
The orchards are situated on the Armorican Massive which is composed of schist and sandstone sediment as well as granite from the primary eras.  With a silty coating, the soils are slightly sandy and pebbly sandy and drain very quickly.
The Production
After grating the apples to obtain the “marc de pommes”, the grated apples are then crushed into a pulp, then pressed.  The resulting pressed juice rests for 3 to 5 days to become naturally clear. This clear juice is then fermented in large cuvées for 4 to 7 months.  After bottling, the cider then continues fermenting for at least another 2 months so that the natural bubbles can form – leading to a rich, thick robe of foamy bubbles that are the hallmark of Maison Hérout. Their ciders are clarified through a traditional method where bottles are capped and tipped on their side so that the yeasts can fall to the tip of the bottle where they are removed through disgorgement.  The resulting cider is completely clear, refined, and stable.

The 2020 Vintage Micro-Cuvée No. 1 is a still, organic cider distinguished by its golden orange color.  It is fermented for at least 3 months in oak barrels that previously aged Calvados AOC.  This aging process reinforces the level of alcohol and tannins in the finished cider.  A very fine, fruity taste.  5.5% alc/vol.

Kystin Secrèt Ice Cider is one of the most intriguing ciders coming out of France right now.  Many of our customers have told us they've never tasted anything like it.
A garnet amber color warms up your senses before you experience the heavenly flavors of baked apple, dried cherry, dried mango and a fleeting hint of ripe banana. The perfectly balanced acid on the finish provides an unexpected grand finale.  

Kystin Secrèt Ice Cider is produced by letting apples freeze on the tree in orchards in Sweden.  The frozen apples are then picked and transported whole to Brittany where Sasha Crommar presses the apples, then ferments and filters the pressed apple juice, transforming into this magical elixir.   
Presented in a beautiful 750ml bottle with Celtic runes on the label. The bottle alone is worthy of a place in your home bar.  

750ml, 10% alc/vol.  

Note: Why use apples from Sweden?  Because the orchards in Normandy and Brittany don't freeze often or long enough to produce the kind of frozen apple Sasha is seeking. 

This elegant Calvados is produced, bottled, and aged at a 17th century estate near the village of Saint Pierre in Normandy, France.
A fine amber color with a nose of cashew, almond, and pear aromas. The finish is a lingering, fine, and tender brandy. Serve in a small brandy glass at the end of a meal as a digestif. Pairs beautifully with a square of fine chocolate and a nice cigar.

This calvados has been distilled once in a single column still and aged over 15 years in small oak casks. 

750 ML bottles. In individual gift boxes. 40% alc/vol.

The oldest Calvados deserve the greatest respect: Choose a liqueur glass such as a tulip glass or small brandy snifter and pour your Marquis de Saint-Loup Calvados with care.  Warm it tenderly in the hollow of your hand.  Run the amber liquid slowly round the glass (held by the base) and admire its color and the patterns it traces on the sides of the glass. Calvados needs to breathe to develop its full qualities.  Wait for at least two minutes before bringing the glass up to your nose, finding the distance at which you can distinguish and absorb the subtle aromas. Then, take a few drops in your mouth before swallowing.  Now you are ready to truly savor your Calvados, sip by sip.  Take your time, and you will note a surprising development in flavor and taste. If you do not indulge too freely, your Calvados will leave a delicate fragrance on your palate.

Maker Notes

To make a Great Gin, you have to get your hands dirty. Our Farm-to-Bottle Distillery grows its own grains in the rich soils of the Arkansas Delta. That's what gives our gin its authentic taste.

Distilled using the finest blue agave plants, this tequila is a testament to tradition and innovation. The agave hearts are carefully harvested, slow-cooked, and then distilled to perfection. The distilled spirits are meticulously aged for five decades, allowing the flavors to evolve and deepen, culminating in a harmonious symphony of taste.

The influence of the silver oak casks is evident in every sip, as they contribute rich notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and a subtle smokiness. The amber hue reflects the years of patient maturation, while the aroma is a tantalizing blend of agave sweetness and the intricate nuances developed over time.

About Balcomie

This Single Malt, from the family owned distillery in the Kingdom of Fife, has been distilled using Fife barley and matured in 100% ex-Oloroso American Oak Sherry Butts from Jerez, previously used for maturing Sherry. These casks were specifically chosen by Isabella Wemyss for their gentle oak flavours and sherry rich sweetness to compliment the fruity character of the Kingsbarns spirit. This allows for the perfect balance between the spirit and the wood.

Farewell Dream to Dram

The single malt that started it all here at Kingsbarns has been retired. As our first release back in 2018, Dream to Dram has, and will always have, a special place in our story; the first chapter comes to a close and we are so excited to continue our journey and take you along with us.

Makers Notes

Full of sweet, fruity character, DOOCOT is light, intensely fruity, floral and complemented by a rich colour coming from the high quality bourbon casks it has matured in. Comprising of the same liquid as our first release Dream to Dram, but undisturbed for a longer oak maturation allowing complexity to develop while maintaining balance, we hope you find the core Kingsbarns spirit still remains firmly within.

Master Blender Isabella Wemyss has carefully selected a combination of Ex-Bourbon and STR (shaved, toasted and re-charred) ex-Portuguese red wine casks to mature DOOCOT.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Natural

Nose: Sweet and floral, soft brown sugar with banana cake batter and tropical notes

Palate: Pineapple syrup, summer berries and a hint of rhubarb

About Doocot

Inspiration for the name of our new Single Malt came from the heart of our distillery at Kingsbarns. During the renovations of the old farmstead that began in 2013, efforts were made to restore, not replace, many parts of the historic building. One of these was its oldest space: The Doocot.

Scottish for Dovecot, the Doocot sits at the centre of our Fife distillery and holds our first fill cask from March 2015. As a space that once acted as home for doves and pigeons, it has now transitioned to a home for our story, but with its history still very much intact. Our new flagship single malt has enjoyed a longer maturation in cask, maintaining balance and developing complexity. Purchase a bottle today and become a part of that story.

Winemaker Notes

Although it’s a tad risqué, Ménage à Trois Chardonnay has an impeccable, California coastal pedigree. To enhance its delicious fruity flavors, we fermented the wine with a special French yeast (but of course!), induced partial malolactic fermentation, and coupled the creamy result with French and American oak.

Tasting Notes

Each appellation partner in our Ménage à Trois Chardonnay contributes a distinctive quality to the finished blend: crisp, lemon and lime aromas and vibrant, tropical fruit flavors from the Central Coast; and beautiful structure from the North Coast. The resulting Chardonnay is full-bodied on the palate, with strong varietal fruit characters.
