Distillerie Garnier is a family-run Norman house dedicated to the craft of Calvados and cider eaux-de-vie. Located in the heart of the Norman countryside, it works exclusively with local apples sourced from traditional orchards. Slow cider fermentation is followed by careful double distillation in traditional copper pot stills, in line with Pays d’Auge methods. Each batch is patiently matured in oak casks to develop depth, finesse and aromatic complexity. The distillery favors authentic bottlings, often cask strength and released in limited editions. Its style stands out for vibrant tension, fresh fruit character and natural richness. Committed to artisanal expertise, the Garnier family oversees every step from orchard to bottle. Long ageing results in structured, elegant and precise spirits. The house also experiments with creative cask finishes to enhance aromatic layers. Distillerie Garnier embodies the balance between Norman tradition and contemporary innovation.

Swell de Spirits was created in 2021 by Michael Barbaria. His bottlings are the result of a meticulous selection of exceptional barrels in collaboration with each producer, to which he pays tribute by successfully captivating the most discerning taste buds of enlightened connoisseurs. Its bottles, with designs as original as the liquid they contain, make Swell de Spirits a key player on the independent scene.
