Calvados across America
From the West Coast to the East Coast, Calvados is making its mark in the United States.
We told you 2024 would be a big year for Calvados distilleries in America.
For the past six months, we’ve been taking our finest bottles, our best accents, and our beloved apples across the Atlantic.
In March, we kicked things off with events in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New Orleans.
More recently, in June, we hit the East Coast, stopping in Miami, Austin and Washington DC.
To wrap up the first half of the year, we spent two incredible days at Bar Convent Brooklyn.
At each stop, we held masterclasses to showcase every aspect of Calvados: its origins, production, appellations, distillation, aging, and its eco-friendly practices.
These events were also a great opportunity for guests to taste a wide range of products from different distilleries during lively and engaging tasting sessions.
Our dinners sparked fruitful discussions about the role of Calvados in bars and its potential in delicate pairings. In other words, we explored the many ways our “French Apple brandy” can be enjoyed, especially in cocktails.
To highlight this, we focused on four very different cocktails: the Highball, the Appletini, the Espresso Martini, and the iconic Jack Rose.
And at Bar Convent Brooklyn, led by Nico , Calvados truly shined.
With two masterclasses, tastings, and fascinating conversations, Calvados captured everyone’s hearts.
The result? Overwhelmingly positive feedback, boundless enthusiasm, and valuable connections.
So, you can bet we’ll be back next year!
Cheers
