The story behind Busnel
Calvados is apple brandy from Normandy, France, made by distilling cider and aging the spirit in oak. The result is dry and fruit forward, with baked apple, pear and a soft woody edge rather than the sweetness some expect from apple spirits. It is a sipping brandy first, and a fine one over ice or in a warm coffee.
We stock Busnel Calvados 750mL here in Commack in very small quantity, one or two bottles at a time. When it is gone, it is gone until the next order comes in.
