BUSNEL ELECTED WORLD’S BEST CALVADOS OF THE YEAR.

BUSNEL Calvados was just awarded World’s Best Calvados of the year at the prestigious international competition WORLD’S BEST DRINKS AWARDS 2018. More than just an amazing award for BUSNEL, it also represents an international recognition for Calvados, a very typical French apple brandy. Full of tradition and craftsmanship, Calvados is elaborated in Normandy, France.

Founded in 1820, BUSNEL has one of the oldest distilleries of Calvados, located in the most prestigious certified appellation of Pays d’Auge. In full respect of ancestral tradition, the distiller and cellar master carefully distil, age and blend this very fine apple brandy known as Calvados.

BUSNEL Calvados cherish the link with the terroir and nurture a close and long-term relationship with their apple producers, some have been working with BUSNEL for over forty years. The elaboration process is fully controlled, from the apple supply, to the cider-making, to the careful crafting into Calvados. The quality is therefore ensured year after year.

At the distillery, a tour is offered to visitors with explanations about Calvados history and elaboration with a tasting of our BUSNEL Calvados range.

Tasting notes of our BUSNEL CALVADOS XO aged 12 years:
“Rich, fruity and spicy. Well matured, complex and full rounded. Nice balance of flavours with quince and gooseberry on the palate followed by a pear finish.”
