Description

To celebrate the 5 years of existence of Christian Drouin's Expérimental range and our tenth edition, we had the great joy of partnering with the most iconic brand of artisanal Scottish whiskey:

Springbank.

Our relationship with Springbank is not new since the distillery had used our calvados barrels for the aging of some of their whiskeys twenty years ago.

The challenge of this new edition was to combine the apple with the peat notes of the Springbank barrels (10-12 ppm). For this, we chose a very deep 19-year-old Pays d'Auge calvados. It was left for 5 months in 8 of these barrels for a limited edition of 2130 bottles. Eight barrels of Drouin calvados were exchanged at Springbank.

"The Experimental range from Christian Drouin allowed us to initiate, 5 years ago, a journey through the most beautiful spirits distilleries. We explored the association of our Pays d'Auge Calvados with iconic brands for which we have the greatest respect. Springbank is a distillery among the most esteemed by connoisseurs. It was a great emotion for us to work with their barrels."

Guillaume Drouin


Tasting note:


The nose opens with deep notes of roasted apples with smoky aromas. It then evolves into aromas of plum and clafouti with slightly earthy accents.

The palate is rich, opulent, structured, marked by toasted notes. The peat is expressed in the finish.

A majestic calvados of strength and power.

Calvados, Ciders & Liqueurs

Christian Drouin

While the Pays d'Auge Calvados requires prolonged aging in oak barrels to flourish, a Calvados produced from apples and pears, and distilled in a column still, offers an aromatic universe dominated by fruit, palatable from an early age.

For this reason, CHRISTIAN DROUIN preferred to offer for "entry-level" a Calvados partly produced in the establishment he operates in Domfront. This calvados derives its originality from the high percentage of perry pears used in conjunction with cider apples. The soil (schist and granite) and the distillation process (a single distillation) also contribute to its typicality. It is ideal for the preparation of cooking recipes, apple granita and cocktails requiring a fruity base alcohol. La Sélection is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée calvados.
