A rather sassy new Calvados…
We fell in love with Sassy’s Normandy ciders but now they’ve started using those same organic apples to make a very fine spirit indeed.
Sassy Fine Calvados was created using a family recipe dating back to 1852 and handpicked fruit from Château de Sassy’s orchard. The small-batch eau-de-vie that comes off their column copper still spends at least two years in oak barrels. The casks are predominantly old wood or barrels that used to contain Pommeau which helps to retain all that wonderful fruitiness. Expect lots of green apple white blossom floral honey energy freshness and a gentle touch of oak spice. Great for sipping but also cracking in cocktails or simply topped up with tonic.
Sassy by name and sassy by nature; the handcrafted ciders and spirits from this brand certainly live up to that moniker. Lovingly created by a pair of young Frenchmen – childhood friends Xavier d’Audiffret Pasquier and Pierre-Emmanuel Racine-Jourden – who were keen to revolutionise their favourite beverages and Normandy’s most famous exports. Employing the expertise of a cellar master with more than 30 years’ experience they have succeeded in giving ‘cidre’ a very modern twist and now Calvados too.
Sassy has now become the go-to choice for the world’s culinary elite – Joel Robuchon Alain Ducasse Alexandre Gauthier Anne-Sophie Pic David Toutain Gregory Marchand the lists goes on – as well as top mixologists and bartenders from Paris to Hong Kong. After finding its way on to the lists of London’s Sexy Fish Bob Bob Ricard Nola and Pollen Street Social’s sister restaurant surely Sassy has earned a space in your refrigerator and drinks cabinet?
