Pierre Huet Calvados Tradition 15 Years is a distinguished expression of Normandy’s renowned Calvados Pays d'Auge, a Protected Designation of Origin celebrated for its exceptional quality and heritage. This premium spirit is carefully aged for a minimum of 15 years in classic French oak barrels, allowing it to develop a rich and mellow character that perfectly balances strength and elegance.
The double distillation process, conducted in a traditional copper still known as alambic a repasse, is fueled by an innovative and ecological woodchip heating method unique to the estate. The result is a Calvados with a refined 40% ABV that showcases layers of stewed fruit, delicate almond notes, and soft spice nuances, creating a harmonious and inviting palate.
This Calvados is a true family hallmark, reflecting the Pierre Huet legacy of long maturation and meticulous craftsmanship. The combination of robustness and sweetness offers an elegant bridge between the intensity of a Hors d'Age and the approachability of an ancestral style, making it a versatile choice for connoisseurs and collectors alike.
Recognized for its excellence, Pierre Huet Calvados Tradition 15 Years has been honored with multiple silver medals at prestigious competitions, including the General Agricultural Competition in Paris and the Regional Competition in Cambremer. It was also specially selected by the iconic Hotel Ritz, Place Vendôme in Paris, underscoring its status as a refined and sought-after spirit.
