Almost all the French Calvados distilleries make a product they call "Pommeau". Its usually made with 1 year old apple brandy that has aged in oak, mixed with sweet cider.. 2/3 cider and 1/3 barrel strength (120 to 140 proof) brandy.. then aged back in oak for 2 to 3 years. the percentage is 17% or 18% like porto or sherry.. The sweet fruitiness of the cider is preserved and then there is a wonderful vanilla, caramel, smokey flavor from the wood.. I don't think you can call it Pommeau unless it's made in the Calvados area of France.. Nick
