Eaux de Vie (Fruit Brandies)

An eau de vie is generally the name given to a brandy made from fruit other than grapes. Unlike liqueurs, they are not sweetened and so the fruit flavour is usually quite light.

Calvados Pere Magloire

Calvados is the AOC name used to describe a brandy distilled from fermented apples (cider) grown in specified regions around Normandy. Calvados is made by blending the cider from two different types of apples (and sometimes pears) and then ageing it for at least two years in oak barrels.
