Pommeau is traditionally a French product and very popular in Normandy. A select amount of this 100 proof apple brandy product becomes the alcoholic base and preservative for fresh apple juice that we age in bourbon barrels. This unique spirit, called Pommeau, lives in between the bold and higher proof Calvados and the sweet and tart of the cider it was born from. Fenceline’s Pommeau is made from a bittersweet apple blend, which we then distilled at Honey House Distilling in Durango, Colorado. Once blended with fresh apple juice, the final mixture is then left to age in used bourbon barrels for 12 months. The result is a bright harmony of sweet, tannic and tart — true to the cider apples and the mountain orchards from which it came.
