C. Drouin

C. Drouin represents traditional Calvados production from Normandy, creating apple brandies through time-honored distillation methods. Their expressions showcase the complexity achievable through careful apple selection, traditional copper pot distillation, and extended oak aging in French cooperage.

The house maintains traditional production standards, utilizing both bitter and sweet apple varieties from Norman orchards to create complex base ciders for distillation. Their aging program employs various oak cask sizes to develop the spirit's character over time, resulting in Calvados expressions that display apple fruit intensity balanced with wood-derived spices and vanilla notes. Each bottling reflects generations of Norman distilling expertise.
