Busnel Calvados Pays d'Auge AOC VSOP is a distinguished apple brandy crafted in the heart of the Pays d'Auge region in Normandy, France. This appellation is recognized for its strict production standards, ensuring only the finest Calvados comes from the region. The VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) designation indicates that the blend of Calvados has been aged for a minimum of four years in oak barrels, although many expressions in the blend may be aged longer. The oak maturation imparts rich, complex flavors and deep amber hues, balancing the crisp freshness of apples with layers of vanilla, caramel, and subtle spice.

Busnel’s commitment to traditional distillation methods, using only apples sourced from the Pays d'Auge and employing double distillation, results in a spirit that captures the essence of the region's apple orchards. On the palate, expect a well-rounded and smooth texture with notes of baked apples, dried fruits, and toasted wood, finishing with a hint of spice and vanilla. It’s perfect for sipping neat, over ice, or as an exquisite base for cocktails.
