Calvados shares many similarities with apple brandy (often referred to as cider brandy), but there are some key differences.
While both Calvados and apple brandy are made from apples, Calvados is exclusively made in the Normandy region of France and can be made from apples as well as pears. From here, it’s aged in an oak barrel for a minimum of 2 years before it earns its name.
Apple brandy, meanwhile, can be produced anywhere in the world, but must be made exclusively from fermented apples. As you can imagine, the UK offers a selection of delicious cider brandies such as the exceptional Skreach Cornish Cider Brandy (which we stock, of course!) to compete with some of the finest in the world.
Calvados offers a rich tasting experience, with equally sweet and bitter notes that complement each other beautifully. Naturally, the flavour of Calvados varies according to the variety of apple used. Explore our range today which is full of exceptional Calvados varieties - all fermented, distilled and aged to the highest standard.
Cider brandy is likewise diverse in its flavour profile, with many of these brandies relying on a mixture of apple varieties to achieve noticeably unique results.
In our range, you’ll find an extensive selection of heartwarming apple brandies, from affordable varieties to highly sought-after rarities with an honoured reputation.
