Calvados 'Hors d'Age'

• Calvados produced by seventh-generation producer Jean-Francois Guillouet in Caligny, Suisse-Normand, under the AOC appellation
• Distilled from 100% apple
• A blend of vintages, minimum 6-years-old with the oldest component a minimum 30-years-old (vintages will vary lot to lot)
• Cider is naturally fermented sur lie in fiberglass, stainless steel, and enamel-lined tanks for 8–12 months
• Distilled on a traveling, wood-fired copper column still
• Aged in used French oak of varying sizes and proofed slowly over time with low-mineral water from one of the property’s wells
• Aromas of deep green apple, vanilla, honey, and a touch of almond lead to a round, oily mouthfeel and a long finish; a wonderful representation of the third Calvados appellation!
• 40% ABV

Huard Hôrs d’Age is a joyous sipper, striking an elegant balance between verdant apple notes and the oxidative depth derived from time in barrel.
