Michel Huard-Guillouet Hors d'Age Couvreur Ex-Sherry Cask Calvados is an aged apple Calvados from Normandy, finished for two years in ex-Amontillado sherry casks in the Burgundy cellars of famed whisky maker Michel Couvreur. It is bottled at 43.5% ABV (87 proof).

The Story of the Couvreur Cask Finish

Jean-François Guillouet is the seventh generation of his family to make Calvados in Caligny, in the Suisse-Normande. His cider, made from 100% apples, ferments naturally on its lees for 8 to 12 months and is distilled on a traveling, wood-fired copper column still. For this edition, his Hors d’Age Calvados was finished two years in ex-Amontillado casks at the estate of the late Michel Couvreur in Bouze-lès-Beaune, Burgundy. Couvreur, renowned for aging whiskies in deep tunnels beneath his home, favored casks that had truly held sherry, a practice his estate continues. Bottled in May 2021, the result pairs lush, caramelized depth with bright acidity.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Flambéed Honeycrisp apples, Demerara sugar, toasted pecans and a subtle note of sherry
  • Palate: Vanilla custard, dulce de leche and candied apple, with confident acidity
  • Finish: Bittersweet, with savory herbs and dark caramel

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat from a tulip glass or snifter after dinner, perhaps alongside an apple tart or aged cheese.
