{"title":"Calvados","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalvados is the apple brandy of Normandy, distilled from cider made with dozens of varieties of bitter, bittersweet and sweet apples, often with a share of pears, and aged in oak for at least two years. The Pays d'Auge appellation requires double distillation in pot stills for the richest style. Young Calvados is bright and appley and brilliant in cocktails; aged VSOP, XO and Hors d'Age bottlings turn to baked apple, spice and butterscotch and sip like fine cognac.
