Boulard X. O. Mizunara Cask Finish Calvados is a sophisticated blend of carefully selected apple brandies, first aged in French oak barrels and then finished in rare Mizunara oak casks from Japan. This double maturation process imparts unique depth and complexity, enhancing the traditional Calvados with delicate oriental notes.


The aroma features rich baked apples, vanilla, and subtle spices, while the palate reveals smooth layers of caramelized fruit, toasted oak, and exotic hints of sandalwood, coconut, and incense. The finish is long and elegant, reflecting the fusion of Norman craftsmanship and Japanese artistry.


This exclusive Calvados offers a refined and distinctive tasting experience.
