Flavour notes
The nose is delicate, with apple taking the lead in several forms, from ripe apple to butter-fried apple. Malt, apricot and pear then add a softer layer behind the fruit.On the palate it keeps a fine, elegant line. Rounded Calvados fruit is balanced by gentle acidity, giving it lift and clarity. The finish moves towards hazelnut and grain, adding a subtle echo of the whisky cask influence.

Product info about Drouin Experimental #9 Arran Finish
Drouin Experimental #9 Arran Finish is a Calvados with a genuine journey behind it. For the ninth release in the Expérimental range, Christian Drouin turned towards Scotland, and specifically to the Arran distillery. That connection is not incidental: Drouin and Arran have been exchanging casks for almost twenty years.At its heart is a 13-year-old Pays d'Auge calvados, still fruit-driven and nicely rounded. It was then given six further months in six old French oak casks that had previously held Arran whisky. What makes the story especially appealing is that these casks originally came from Drouin, spent more than 17 years in Scotland maturing whisky, and eventually returned to the cellars in Normandy.
For Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle that shows how far Calvados can travel while remaining true to its apple-based identity. The release was limited to 1992 bottles, and with the last bottles now in circulation, it has the quiet rarity of a carefully made experiment rather than the feel of a standard finish.
The nose is delicate, with apple taking the lead in several forms, from ripe apple to butter-fried apple. Malt, apricot and pear then add a softer layer behind the fruit.
On the palate it keeps a fine, elegant line. Rounded Calvados fruit is balanced by gentle acidity, giving it lift and clarity. The finish moves towards hazelnut and grain, adding a subtle echo of the whisky cask influence.

About COEUR DE LION
When Christian Drouin (the father) acquired Fiefs Sainte-Anne on the Gonneville hills near Honfleur in 1960, he had no idea how big his surname would become in the world of Calvados. He planted apple trees on his land and soon the desire to produce calvados too grew. Christian was a bold and enterprising man, working for the first 20 years to refine his distillates of apple cider. The calvados produced in those years is aged in different types of barrels, which beforehand include sherry, port or calvados, and rest for years in the old farm buildings. Christian also acquires several lots of old calvados from other reputable makers. During this period, Drouin also wins his first medals at regional competitions and in Paris.
Son Christian joins his father in the business in 1969, but it is not until 1979 that it is decided that the stocks are large enough to enter the market. Immediately, an international approach is adopted and a focus on older and higher-quality calvados than had previously been the norm in the industry. This approach paid off and Calvados Drouin became a fixture in the better restaurants and hotels around the world. In 1991, production moved to another 18th-century farmhouse in Coudray-Rabut.
In 2004, the third generation emerges. Guillaume Drouin is an agronomic engineer and oenologist. He first took charge of the export side of the business for 5 years, before taking over first production and then general management. to this day, Guillaume and his father Christian still realise the assemblages of the current products together.
