Talk:Calvados

message: Spelling mistake? "vieillée en chêne" or "vieilli en chêne"? - User:Olivier
In common English usage it seems that Calvados is regularly capitalized. I have changed the article to reflect this.
Yes, Calvados (like Cognac) is in reference to the French department of Calvados and should always be capitalized Philvarner 23:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: This is a misleading title for a discussion of column and pot, or alembic, stills.  The discussion itself is misleading too.  Very, very few distillers who produce high quality product would suggest that column stills produce a cleaner "apple" flavor than alembic stills.  When a pot still's distillate flows, what first comes out is different from the next phase, which is different from the next, and so on. The distiller separates those different parts, and only uses the best.  A column still is supposed to isolate a better fraction continuously.  But fermented mash is variable. Every batch has a different flavor when heated, too.  So columns inevitably mix an array of "fractions" in their stream.  They miss very good parts, and use not so good parts.  In terms of "clean" flavor, it's more likely from alembics, where the distiller controls the results, than the column, where the distiller sets the column and hopes for the best.  The column will have either off-flavors, or little flavor, no matter how carefully done.
I once set up a distillery, and interviewed many distillers to understand the best way to do things.  Brian C   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.80.117.214 (talk) 09:17, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Single vs Double distillation 

message: This article should mention the number of apple varieties (up to 120 or more, of the bitter, tart, and sweet kinds) used to produce Calvados.  69.81.158.35 07:38, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Apple varieties 

message: As the article mentions, Calvados can include pears as well as apples.  LeMorton, for example,
is made with 70% pear and only 30% apple.  The first line of the article is hence incorrect in defining Calvados as apple brandy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.95.60.70 (talk) 20:14, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not just apples 

message: "During World War I cider brandy was made for armaments."
That makes no sense. It either means: that cider brandy was made for consumption by members of the armed forces; or that cider brandy was used in making armaments. I don't know which. Either way, could someone who knows something about it expand on this please, as well as provide a source? WikiReaderer 22:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed the line about pronunciation. According to Chamber's English Dictionary (and my experience) it is always '-dos' not '-do' - and this is en.wikipedia.org, not sure about the 'authentic' French pronunciation of the region - I would guess that in any case would not have stress on the first syllable.
