The roots of the Chateau du Breuil go back to the 16th century. Originally built as a manor house, part of the estate was converted into a distillery in 1954.
With a collection of vintage calvados dating back to 1939, the Drouin house is the equivalent of Gordon & MacPhail in the calvados business. The apple brandy from Normandy is produced by double pot still distillation of cider, i.e. fermented apple must. At Drouin, the origin-protected speciality matures intensively in a selection of mostly smaller oak barrels. The house also experiments with finishes.

The Calvados 1992/2022 matured in a traditional French Calvados oak barrel for a full 30 years. The single cask is the final of the 2022 trilogy of bottlings, tasted and selected on site in the house cellars – exclusively for Kirsch Import customers.
The single cask bottling, limited to 90 bottles, is a particularly straightforward, classic and incredibly self-confident Calvados. At an intense 48.2% vol. it shows a very exciting interplay of aromas from fresh green apples to honey sweetness and minerality to intense spice.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh green apple with overripe pear and orange peel as well as mineral limestone and soft honey sweetness.
Palate: Very appley, with pronounced minerality, subtle oak and lots of spice.
Aftertaste: Long, with lasting freshness.
