Calle 23 Angels - Calvados Pays d'Auge

When we created this new Christian Drouin Experimental range, our ambition was to explore new, unexpected and technical associations between calvados and the greatest spirits from the four corners of the world. With a specialist in the Drouin Agave team in the person ofAlexandre Mermillod, we quickly came up with the idea of working with old tequila barrels, and to do this, we approached one of the finest personalities in the profession, Sophie Decobecq.

Calle 23 Angels, is a 10 year old Calvados Pays d'Auge which we have finished aging in two old Calle 23 Tequila casks. These casks had previously contained Tequilas from the Los Altos region produced from Tequilana Weber agaves.

In the search for a perfect balance between agave and apple, Calle 23 Angels is the blend of a finishing in Calle 23 casks in a first filling of 13 months, and a second filling of these casks with a 4 month maturation. 

Tasting notes : 

On the nose, powerful aromas of walnut, olive and truffle dominate, before giving way to notes of white chocolate and stewed apples.

Full and powerful on the palate. The finish has aromas of grilled almonds.

Experimental by Christian Drouin Calle 23 Angels offers a powerful marriage between agave and apple for a calvados with great character.
