Sassy Fine Calvados 70cl

Château de Sassy has its very own Calvados! If you're familiar with its cider, it'll be no surprise to you that this is yet another awesome apple-based treat from the team in Normandy. It's made with a base of young, fruity cider distilled in a column still, and it's aged for a minimum of two years, initially in 300-litre barrels before being moved to much larger barrels (up to 2000 litres!). The casks used are rather old, meaning the fruit flavours of the spirit remain at the fore – further helped by sometimes using casks that previously contained Pommeau. Brill served neat or over ice, though it will work wonderfully in cocktails too.
