Crafted as a tribute to the founder, Boulard XO Auguste is a pinnacle expression of Calvados from the heart of Normandy's Pays d'Auge, a region renowned for producing the most prestigious apple brandies in the world. This exquisite XO (Extra Old) Calvados is a luxurious blend of several aged eaux-de-vie, each matured for a minimum of 6 years, with some well beyond, in French oak barrels.
Named in honour of Pierre-Auguste Boulard, this expression showcases the house's commitment to traditional distillation methods, double copper pot stills, and a meticulous blending process that balances power, elegance, and aromatic complexity.
Elegant, refined, and deeply evocative of its orchard origins, Boulard XO Auguste is the perfect sipping Calvados for discerning spirits lovers.
