Calle 23 Angels - Calvados Pays d'Auge

When we created this new Experimental range from Christian Drouin, 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 of Alexandre Mermillod , we quickly had 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 finished aging in two old Calle 23 Tequila barrels. These barrels had previously contained Tequilas from the Los Altos region produced from Tequilana Weber agaves. 

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

Tasting note: 

On the nose, powerful aromas of nuts, olives and truffles dominate, before giving way to notes of white chocolate and stewed apples.

The palate is full and powerful. Finishes with aromas of toasted almonds.

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

This limited edition was produced in only 1050 bottles
