A great example of how different regions use what is available to them to produce a distilled spirit.
In this case, the Normandy apple (and pear) growing regions in France dictate this spirit – as these fruits grow well here, and grapes do not.
Distillers use a variety of short column and pot-stills to produce a wide variety of calvados flavour profiles. They are typically matured in large oak vats, rather than casks, which imparts less of the wood characteristics to them.
Because of this, even aged calvados carries less ‘oak’ profile and much more of the base fruit characteristics.
