Christian Drouin Selection Calvados
While the Pays dAuge Calvados requires prolonged aging in oak barrels to flourish, a Calvados produced from apples and pears, and distilled in a column still, offers an aromatic universe dominated by fruit, palatable. from an early age. For this reason, Christian Drouin preferred to offer for entry-level a Calvados partly produced in the establishment he operates in Domfront. This calvados derives its originality from the high percentage of perry pears used in conjunction with cider apples. The soil (schist and granite) and the distillation process (a single distillation) also contribute to its typicality. It is ideal for the preparation of cooking recipes, apple granita and cocktails requiring a fruity base alcohol. La Sélection is an Appellation dOrigine Contrôlée calvados.

Umami Spirits has been part of Audemus portfolio for a long time. Umami Gin has been created after a long trip around Australia with Miko (Owner of Audemus Distillery).

Audemus Sepia Amer
Sepia Amer is a contemporary aperitif made in Cognac. An homage to the French-style bitters of bygone years. With a base of roasted French chicory, which provides a full-bodied and lightly bitter canvas, Sardinian myrtle (tannic and spicy), fresh seasonal oranges (smooth and aromatic), angelica root (earthy and bright) as well as a handfulof other botanicals are painted together to create an intricately modern, bitter-sweet spirit. The result is a tension between the earthy – roasted flavours of chicory and myrtle and the ethereal brightness of orange. Sip Sepia over ice, in a light beer as is the tradition method in France, or in cocktails.
Audemus Covert Liqueur
Covert liqueur was born from a desire to bring the fragrant warmth and complexity of three ingredients together in a chord of liquid harmony. Using just fig leaves, spring honey and cognac we capture a flavour in essence which is at once evocative, suave and richly perfumed. Fig trees grow abundantly in the Cognac region of France – adorning the edges of vineyards, sporadically appearing in the wild and taking pride of place in private gardens. At the start of springtime, fig trees plump their leaves with an aromatic sap; becoming richly green in colour, whilst wafting the deliciously heavy and sweet aromas of the sun-roasted leaf. To translate this aroma into flavour, we harvest the fig leaves during the brief period where they are at their most aromatic. They’re then air dried, lightly roasted by hand and finally transformed into this bright liqueur after adding just the two other aromatic ingredients, and a small amount of cane sugar to balance the sweetness. To the nose – Covert has a deep musky aroma, balanced with the brightness of fruit. On the palate it has notes of jammed figs, countered with dry tones of grilled almonds and rye. The aroma of honey lingers, contrasted with a teasing bitterness on the tongue. It is perfect served as a digestif – neat or on ice.
