About this bottle
Christian Drouin Blanche de Normandie is an unaged apple brandy from the Drouin family's orchards in Normandy, France. It's distilled from a blend of cider apple varieties, fermented and double-distilled in copper pot stills, then bottled clear rather than rested in oak — a style sometimes called eau-de-vie de cidre. Skipping barrel time keeps the spirit close to the fruit: crisp green apple on the nose, delicate floral notes, and a clean, bright finish with none of the vanilla or spice that oak would add. It's a versatile bottle for anyone who wants apple brandy's character without the heavier, woodier profile of aged Calvados.
How to drink Christian Drouin Blanche de Normandie
Serve it well-chilled as a digestif — the cold keeps the apple notes crisp rather than letting the alcohol read hot. It also makes a clean substitute for gin or vodka in an apple-forward cocktail like a French 75 variation.

Questions about this bottle
How should I serve Christian Drouin Blanche de Normandie?

Is Blanche de Normandie the same as Calvados?
