Distilia Essentials | Calvados Domfrontais 2013 Single Cask

The finest spirits are never rushed. They evolve slowly, shaped by fruit, wood, and the quiet passage of time.

This second release in the Distilia Essentials Calvados collection was distilled in 2013 and matured for 10 years before being bottled in 2024 from a single cask at its natural 53.8% ABV.

Produced by La Cave Normande under the Calvados Domfrontais AOC, this expression reflects the distinctive identity of Normandy's pear-rich orchards. Traditional distillation and a decade of patient maturation allow the spirit to develop balance, complexity and remarkable elegance while remaining faithful to its origin.

Bottled without dilution, colouring or compromise, it represents the philosophy behind Distilia Essentials: to present benchmark spirits in their purest and most authentic form.
