Within Calvados, Pays d’Auge is one of the most celebrated expressions, known for its deep orchard-fruit character, gentle spice, and long aging in oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the barrels used for this release. After years holding Calvados Pays d’Auge, they bring a beautiful thread of baked apple, pear, soft oak, and warm spice into conversation with the roasted agave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the House of Rare name is retired from RAREcask barrel collaborations, we wanted to begin this new era with something special.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42756145348704,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/7330\/5952\/files\/cascahuin_calvados_1024x1536_32b5681f-2cf1-4c91-bc79-43e72f43e964.png?v=1779224076","url":"https:\/\/www.houseofraretequila.com\/products\/cascahuin-x-rarecask-calvados","provider":"House of Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
