Morin Pommeau de Normandie
($23, 750 ml, Kysela Pere et Fils)
Established in the late 19th century, the family-owned Morin is known for producing Normandy’s signature apple brandy, Calvados. But equally of note is their Pommeau, which few distillers make anymore. This enchanting drink is made with two parts unfermented Normandy cider married to one part one-year-old Calvados brandy. This mixture is transferred to oak casks, where it rests for 30 months before bottling. Apple and prune notes swirl with tones of honey, cocoa, and caramel. Serve neat as a digestif or pair with dessert crepes, apple scented crème brûlée, or apple galette
