Aimed toward each calvados and rum lovers, the brand new limited-edition is completely distributed within the UK by Speciality Manufacturers.
Guillaume Drouin, president of Christian Drouin, mentioned: “We needed to discover a Calvados that was highly effective and structured sufficient to help the aromatics of the Caroni casks. I normally push the reductions of our Calvados fairly far to search out the very best levels of steadiness, however for this Caroni Angels it appeared clear that the chosen Calvados wanted to be maintained at the next diploma. After maturing for eight months in casks, we reached the perfect steadiness and Caroni Angels was bottled at 48.8% abv.”
For this version, Guillaume Drouin sourced six barrels of Caroni, from Luca Gargano, which beforehand housed the coveted Caroni 1996 rum. Caroni Angels is a 17-year-old Calvados Pays d’Auge aged for eight months in barrels within the Daniel Flambard cellar in Pont L’Evêque.
Chris Seale, managing director at Speciality Manufacturers, mentioned: “Calvados has been a class on the rise not too long ago as shoppers past France have began to rediscover its class, complexity and approachable, versatile profile.”
Only one,506 bottles can be found globally and the limited-edition will likely be out there within the UK at chosen retail and on-trade retailers for an rrp of £105.
