Christian Drouin 1960 Calvados Brandy 750ml

The year 1960 marks the inception of the esteemed Christian Drouin Calvados distillery in Normandy, France. Christian Drouin Senior purchased a farm that year with apple orchards and, unsatisfied with apple prices, began distilling his own brandy. Because he didn't blend or sell his early batches, these initial stocks became the foundation for the family's renowned Vintage Calvados collection

Because 1960 was the distillery's inaugural year, true vintage Calvados from this exact year is exceedingly rare. If you are looking to acquire or value a bottle, consider the following details.

Tasting Notes: These are double-distilled Pays d'Auge Calvados (from cider apples). They typically feature rich, evolving flavors of baked apple, oak, vanilla, and complex spices resulting from decades in oak barrels
