Description
Distilled at the idyllic Christian Drouin distillery in Normandy. This single cask calvados is from an Arran whisky cask.
Nose: Tinned mandarins, apple strudel, a new box of glazed donuts
Palate: Apple tarte tatin, candy floss, angelica
Finish: Feint pastis, cumin, white pepper
The Label for this one, well in true LBD style, it takes some explanation. You know we’re nerds, whisky nerds, calvados nerds, gin nerds, WW2 history nerds….
As such there’s a level of geekery that you’re going to need to run with for now, but hey it’s our company and we’ll bottle what we like and how we like!
The Christian Drouin distillery is just down the road from the Bénouville bridge, but it’s more famously known as Pegasus Bridge. This was the first area of France to be liberated on D-Day. On the 6th of June 1944, before helicopters came into service, the glider regiment crash landed wooden gliders, at 90 miles per hour within meters of this bridge and stormed it, taking it for the allies. The Ox and Bucks used the code phrase “Ham & Jam” to announce the success of the mission, that’s why that appears on the label and the colours used are representative of the glider and para regiments. So there you go, an obvious choice for a label….Ok we entertain ourselves.
