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.

Lonely Oak Distillery was born out of a dream and a promise. A dream to make small-batch craft spirits using grains grown right here, in western Iowa, on the Hoffmann family farm. It's on this generous land that we planted the seeds, harvested the grains, and perfected the recipes for the Heartland's finest spirits. That's our dream.

WE HAVE SELECTED THE FINEST BARRELS OF OUR AWARD WINNING STEEPLE RIDGE BOURBON TO BRING YOU WHISKEY IN ITS TRUEST FORM-UNCUT-STRAIGHT FROM THE BARREL-SMALL BATCH. CRAFT DISTILLED FROM HEIRLOOM CORN GROWN ON OUR FARM. WE ARE MAKING BOURBON “THE RIGHT WAY.” VANILLA, CARAMEL, AND DARK CHERRY FLAVORS WITH JUST A TOUCH OF OAK WILL KEEP YOU COMING BACK TO THE GLASS FOR MORE...CHEERS!

Tasting Notes

You will find distinctive flavors of dark chocolate, grain, and sweet tree fruits early, which are complimented by oak, spice, and a rich, full mouthfeel.

As you return to the glass you will find notes of dark caramel and chocolate covered cherries with aromatics of oak, vanilla bean, and hints of bread and tobacco. Overall, a distinctively pleasant, yet bold bourbon at 102 proof, for you to enjoy with the closest of friends and family. Each bottle is hand signed with its own barrel, proof and bottle number; there are no two alike.

Centuries ago, in pre-hispanic Mexico a lightning bolt struck the gem (or heart) of the maguey plant, roasting and fermenting its sugars, and out poured the sacred and mystical sap known today as Mezcal. Hundreds of years later, artist-alchemist duo AdrinAdrina and Elliott Coon, both daughters of bohemian bootleggers, started brewing their own spirits and infusing elixirs. Together, the duo are powered by the belief that a positive lifestyle elevates consciousnessand thus GEM&BOLT was born.

Handcrafted by fourth generation Maestro Mezcaleros, GEM&BOLT is a small batch, artisanal Mezcal produced using traditional methods with no artificial yeast or chemicals. Using mature (8 to 10 yr) 100% Espadin Agave from the high lands of Oaxaca, GEM&BOLT is a clean spirit, first distilled in small copper stills and then rested (not aged) in oak barrels for 3 to 6 months prior to its second distillation with the traditional Mexican herb Damiana giving GEM&BOLT a smooth (less smokey) profile with subtle herbal notes.
