A Calvados produced by Houley distillery, under their de Querville brand.

Houley distillery is managed by the Deschamps family. They continue to maintain a small, 150 hectare estate in the Pays d’Auge region of Calvados. Here they grow little, acidic apples which are perfect for distilling Calvados.

The Calvados has been distilled in both column and pot stills, with the different distillates matured separately, before being blended prior to bottling. This bottling has been aged for a minimum of 6 years in French oak casks.

The final result is a mature, well balanced Calvados that suggests the presence of older spirit in the blend. Querville Hors d’Age serves up notes of dried spice, plums, figs, prunes, toffee, tobacco, oak, blackberry, raspberry, pear, acidic apple, baked apples and sherried fruit.

Extremely complex and delicious, this is a great digestif Calvados.
