This is the very first refined vodka in Calvados casks, in collaboration with the Coquerel Distillery. Refining operates for 6 months in 300-liter oak barrels that have contained Calvados from 2 to 5 years. This unusual encounter between the English potato and the Norman apple brings a touch of freshness to the traditional vodka and has a long sweet finish reminding the gourmet flavors of roasted apples...

THE STORY BEHIND THE D-DAY CALVADOS CASK FINISH LIMITED EDITION

After the D-Day, some Polish pilots delivered their vodka to the allies in barrels fixed under the wings of their Spitfire. The troops being stationed not far from the Norman farms, some of the barrels used for this unusual air transport had contained Calvados. This would inevitably bring some fruity aromas to their homemade vodka. It is this anecdote of the Second World War that inspired us to create this special edition celebrating the 75th anniversary of the D-DAY.
