About Busnel

Ernest Busnel settled in Pont l'Evêque in 1820 with his family. He soon developed a love of the land and the famous apples of the Pays D'Auge region, laying the foundation for Busnel Calvados. Calvados is a famous brandy that is produced from apples, sometimes with the addition of pears. Pays D'Auge is the most celebrated region within Normandy, France, where some of the finest calvados in the world is produced. Ernest's son Georges was known for meticulously scouring the Normandy countryside in search of the best eaux-de-vie, saying "No good apples, no good calvados". Georges passed the torch to his son Pierre and in the early 20th century Busnel's reputation was growing rapidly, expanding distribution, eventually becoming the exclusive supplier of the RMS Queen Mary.

World War II left the distillery and all its facilities in ruins and a new distillery opened its doors in 1952, rapidly reaching the success it enjoyed before the war. By the end of the 70s, the distillery had relocated to Cormeilles, expanding considerably. Today, Busnel is the oldest of the major calvados producers, building upon generations of expertise. With terroir and tradition at its core, Busnel looks to a future of innovation and modernity.

About Brandy

Brandy is typically produced from distilled wine and other fermented fruit juices like apples, pears, and other sweet fruits.

It is a perfect after-dinner digestif served neat or slightly warmed by holding the glass with your hands.

The kick can vary between 70-120 proof, and it gets its flavor from aging in wooden casks.

Tasting Notes

The bright amber spirit has a soft nose with ripe apples and hints of toasted oak. The palate is fruity and round with orchard fruit and hints of cinnamon, culminating in a round and elegant finish with lingering spice.
