Normandie is a limitededition, crosscontinental conversation in a glass: five seasoned Calvados casks from the storied Christian Drouin housewhere three generations of meticulous craftsmanship have earned more than 289 gold medals made the journey from Normandy to Bardstown to embrace a curated bourbon blend. After a 28month slumber, the whiskey settled into mediumtoast American oak, coaxing out layers of caramel, spice and roasted almond. The result is an elegant confluence of crisp orchard fruit and velvety bourbon sweetness accented by gentle wood smoke and a whisper of vanilla. Normandie is less a finish and more a transformationan elevated marriage of French tradition and American craft.
Tasting Notes
Baked honeycrisp apple, brown sugar, orange zest, and vanilla cream open to a luxurious palate of puff pastry, butterscotch, and baked cherry. The rounded mouthfeel leads to an absolutely decadent finish that balances toasted oak and Crme Caramel.
