Description
Busnel Calvados Pays d’Auge AOC VSOP
40% ABV | Aged Minimum 4 Years | Pays d’Auge AOC | French Apple Brandy | VSOP
Process & Profile
Busnel Calvados Pays d’Auge AOC VSOP is a refined apple brandy made in the prestigious Pays d’Auge region of Normandy, France. This VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) expression is a blend of Calvados aged for at least four years in French oak barrels, allowing the fruit-forward character to mellow and develop with toasted spice and wood tones.
Made exclusively from cider apples, the spirit undergoes double distillation in copper pot stills as required by the AOC designation. The result is a beautifully balanced Calvados with bright orchard fruit, subtle spice, and a round, elegant mouthfeel that works beautifully across sipping, mixing, and culinary applications.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Ripe apples layered with soft oak and a hint of toast.
Palate: Silky and round with flavors of baked apple, cinnamon, and dried fruit.
Finish: Warm and lingering with notes of spice and gentle wood tannin.

Brooke Flores –
This made a really clean gin drink. I picked up Busnel Calvados Pays d’Auge AOC VSOP for a small get-together and it went over well. The spice and apple notes stood out most to me, with a finish that felt mellow. It worked well both neat and mixed, depending on the mood.
