In the region of Normandy apples are pressed into cider, from which this distinctive Eau de Vie originates. The Berneroys are masters of distillation and blending, and they have a keen eye for all the small things that are involved in the process of making their Calvados live up to its reputation. It is Grande, Oui Grande, we tell you.
Berneroy Calvados XO is made from apple must (juice) of over 180 named apple varieties. This juice is then fermented for a minimum period of four weeks before being once distilled in an antique copper column. Single distillation makes the Berneroy Calvados fruitier and distinctly more aromatic than some of its counterparts. It is aged for up to 25 years in casks made of Limousin oak.

Back to flavor spiral
The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Berneroy Calvados XO and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

Calvados XO

Smartass corner
Rancio is a highly desirable nutty flavor usually found in extra-aged fortified wines (Port, Sherry, Madeira, Marsala …) and fruit-based Spirits, namely Cognacs, Calvados, and Armagnac. It appears in Cognac after roughly 10 years of maturing in oak casks, becoming more intense over the years.
There are three primary grades of Cognac recognized by law: V.S., V.S.O.P., and X.O, but we also know Napoléon, XXO, and Hors d'âge.
Nine liters of white Wine must be distilled for a single liter of Cognac!
There are three different qualities of Cognac recognized by law: V.S. (very special), V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale), and X.O. (Extra Old).
Cognac, named after the town of Cognac in France, is a variety of brandy (distilled wine). It is only produced in the wine-growing region surrounding this town. Cognac must be made from specified grapes, be twice distilled in copper pot stills, and be aged at least two years in French oak barrels. Most Cognacs are aged considerably longer than the minimum legal requirement.
The wine used for Cognac is very dry, acidic, and thin but excellent for distillation and aging.
