Distillery Information

The Drouin family are relative newcomers to Calvados. The firm was founded in 1960 by Christian Drouin the elder, an industrialist from Rouen in Northern France. He developed his interest when he bought a farm in Gonneville complete with cider apple orchards and decided to try to make the best Calvados he could. Its still a family business now run by the third generation and widely acknowledged as one of the best as well as most innovative producers in the region. Drouin pioneered cask finishing for Calvados in a series of collaborations with Japanese whisky, Jamaican rum and Tequila producers. The family dont only age brandy in experimental barrels but they also send Calvados-seasoned casks so that other distilleries can create innovative expressions like Mackmyra ppelblom.
