ABC by Christian Drouin 17% – French aperitif with Calvados and apples

ABC by Christian Drouin is an exciting French aperitif that combines juicy Norman apples with Calvados, aromatic spices, and fresh citrus notes. A delightful combination of fruity sweetness, freshness, and elegant bitterness.

The inspiration comes from classic vermouth, but here the grapes have been replaced by apples. Fresh apple juice is blended with young Calvados and aged in oak barrels. Then, ingredients such as cinnamon, orange, elderflower, yuzu, and selected herbs are added.

Tasting Notes – Fruity, spicy, and fresh

Nose: Inviting aromas of ripe apples, orange peel, flowers, and warm spices.
