Boulard XO Calvados

Among the connoisseurs of calvados, no other name commands greater recognition than that of Boulard. For nearly 200 years, Calvados Boulard has been produced in the town of Coquainvilliers in the Pays d’Auge region of France. Although calvados may be produced anywhere in Normandy, only the finest expressions come from the small region of Pays d’Auge. Working with a co-op of growers on 150 family-owned acres, Calvados Boulard harvests over 120 varieties of apple from the nearly 800 grown. Calvados Boulard is distilled just two times in copper pot stills before being laid to rest in new Limousin oak barrels. This combination of apples creates a product with a very fruit forward flavor profile, complexity and balance. Calvados Boulard X.O. is obtained from blending several Calvados varieties from the Pays d'Auge aged between 8 and 15 years. Ultimate Spirits Challenge, 93 Points - Excellent & Highly Recommended
