ABOUT
During prohibition in America, many underground bars used Calvados in cocktails. Mythical recipes such as the Apple Jack Rabbit, the Jack Rose, and the Princess Mary’s Pride were created behind closed doors. Coquerel VS is a homage to the floral, fresh, and fruity calvados that was exported back then.
METHOD
First in the process is the selection of perfectly ripe apples. The first to drop are often rotten but it shows when the ripe apples are ready. The apples are then crushed into a mash and the juices are fermented for 28 days, then the distillation in traditional copper stills. Finally the aging the mixture is placed into fine French oak barrels, the comes the strategic role of the cellar master who enhances and magnifies each different kind of brandy.
