Description
Discover the exquisite Château du Breuil Calvados Pays d'Auge 10yr Finition Fûts de Whisky, a luxurious spirit that showcases the artistry of French distillation. Crafted in the heart of Normandy, this exceptional Calvados is aged for a decade in oak barrels. It is then gently finished in whisky casks, imparting a unique depth and character to each bottle.
On the nose, expect a symphony of aromas featuring warm, rich apple intertwined with creamy vanilla and subtle oak spice. These scents are layered with delicate floral hints and a touch of toasted almond, inviting you to explore further.
The palate is a wondrous journey, revealing rich notes of ripe and baked apples, complemented by delicate hints of vanilla and spice. This spirit offers a silky, rounded mouthfeel enhanced by subtle smoky and oaky undertones from the whisky cask finish. The finish unveils a harmonious balance of bright apple acidity and floral notes, wrapped in a creamy brioche texture with a lingering hint of peat.
This Calvados is perfect for various occasions and can be enjoyed in multiple ways:
- Serve neat at room temperature

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Calvados follow these practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store Calvados in a cool environment with a stable temperature ideally between 10°C and 15°C (50°F to 59°F). Temperatures above 20°C may negatively affect flavor by causing over-concentration of alcohol while temperatures too low may inhibit flavor development.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and artificial light to prevent flavor degradation caused by UV exposure.
- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle is tightly sealed when not in use. For opened bottles use the original closure or vacuum stoppers to limit oxygen exposure and slow oxidation. Oxidation can lead to flavor loss and off-notes.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright to keep the cork moist but prevent it from degrading. Unlike wine spirits like Calvados stored on their side can cause the cork to spoil and potentially spoil the quality.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level around 60-70% to prevent cork drying and avoid mold growth. This balance helps keep the bottle airtight.
- Opened Bottles: Once opened Calvados can remain good for years but to maximize freshness decant into smaller bottles to reduce air contact or consider refrigeration of the smaller container if you expect long-term storage after opening.
