Avallen Calvados Paper Bottle 700ml

WHAT IS AVALLEN?

EXPERIENCE THE HARMONIOUS BLEND OF FLAVOUR AND SUSTAINABILITY

Avallen – meaning 'apple tree' in the old Cornish language – is a modern Calvados, matured for two years in French oak casks creating a fresh, fruity character and apple-forward flavour. Created for use in a variety of cocktails, this release of Avallen comes in a bottle made from 94% recycled cardboard. A thin food-grade liner keeps the Calvados safely inside until you’re ready to let it out.

Avallen embodies the delightful intersection of flavour and sustainability. We celebrate the essence of apples by meticulously selecting 40 distinct varieties from 300 orchards, resulting in our exquisite floral and fruit-forward Calvados. Even our labels are crafted from apples, a testament to our deep admiration for these remarkable fruits!
