Calvados

Calvados is a distinguished apple brandy from Normandy, distilled from cider made using specially selected apple (and sometimes pear) varieties. With its deep orchard character and fragrant complexity, it offers a different — yet equally refined — expression of French brandy. Aged in oak barrels for several years, Calvados develops rich, mellow notes of baked apple, spice, and vanilla that make it a pleasure to sip.

At Brandyclassics, we offer a select range of luxury French spirits, including finely aged Calvados from some of the region’s most respected producers. These are elegant, fruit-driven spirits that make inspired gifts for birthdays, anniversaries or Christmas — refined yet versatile.

Calvados is as enjoyable neat as it is over ice. It pairs beautifully with soda for a long drink, or with Prosecco for a refreshing, sophisticated spritz — perfect for celebratory moments.

“I’d read so much about Calvados on the Brandyclassics website that I couldn’t resist buying a bottle for myself. I made a wonderful summer spritz and have since been back a few times to explore more. A real discovery.” L. Whitmore
