How much alcohol does Calvados contain?
To be legally sold, Calvados must be at least 40% abv. This alcohol content is obtained by the gradual addition of distilled or demineralised water to the apple brandy. This is known as reduction.
However, some “cask strength” Calvados are unreduced. They have a “natural” alcohol content created by the evaporation of the eau-de-vie over time. Taken directly from the top of the barrel, they are usually bottled on demand and show a wonderful concentration of aromas. Some “cask strength” Calvados can contain up to 55% vol.
