The elegance of an old calvados

Produced in the Pays d'Auge from bitter, bitter-sweet, sweet and sharp cider apples by double distillation in copper stills, XO is aged in small previously-used casks, including some former wine casks. The blend also contains some spirits aged in former fortified wine casks and brandy casks, adding further sweetness and complexity.
