Busnel Calvados

Distillerie Busnel is a benchmark name in Calvados, founded in 1820 in Normandy’s Pays d’Auge and recognized as one of the oldest major houses in the category. The Calvados range is rooted in a fruit-first philosophy, beginning with meticulous apple selection and carried through with traditional distillation and patient aging in oak.

Across its lineup, Busnel focuses on clarity and authenticity of style: ripe apple character, gentle spice, and a composed, polished finish that stays true to its origins. The house is also known for careful blending, building complexity through a layered approach rather than heavy-handed sweetness or exaggerated oak.

From its core expressions through longer-aged bottlings, Busnel delivers Calvados with classic structure and consistent quality, equally at home neat, in culinary use, or as a dependable foundation for serious cocktail programs.
