Christian Drouin Calvados 2018 – Arran Whisky Cask LBD

The latest iteration of Little Brown Dog's Calvados bottling "Le Petit Chien Brun" comes in two variations - a whisky cask and a Sauternes cask, this one is aged in Arran Whisky and limited to just 296 Bottles.

The Bénouville bridge, more famously known as Pegasus Bridge is just down the road from the Christian Drouin distillery, around 6 miles north-east of Caen.  This was the first area of France to be liberated on D-Day.  On the 6^th of June 1944, before helicopters came into service, the glider regiment crash landed wooden gliders, at 90 miles per hour within meters of this bridge and stormed it, taking it for the allies.  The Ox and Bucks used the code “Ham & Jam” to announce the success of the mission, that’s why that phrase appears on the label and the colours used are representative of the glider and para regiments.
