Since the 1800s, the Camut family has grown 46.5 hectares of apple trees in the Pays d'Auge, the finest growing region for Calvados. In Normandy, 800 types of apples are grown; the Camut family grow about 25 of these.

Cider is made from these apples and rests in oak barrels for 10 or 11 months. In September, the cider is double-distilled with two of the property's wood-fueled stills.  No new barrels are used; most have their origin in Limousin and average 50 years of age.

For its third birthday, the calvados is placed in large wooden vats or foudres. This allows for a constant exchange of oxygen and a gradual reduction and concentration of the apple brandy. The blends are as natural as possible--time alone has mellowed these rich, lush spirits.

40-50 years old, 40 proof. Deep amber color. Tremendous legs. Nutty vanilla on the nose. Deep notes of preserved, baked apple, smoke, and prune. Impeccably balanced, earthy complexity. Long, pure finish.
