Ampersand MALUS Rye & Calvados Whiskey 750ml
A bold, orchard-driven hybrid spirit, Ampersand MALUS fuses spicy American rye with rich, apple-forward Calvados for a whiskey that's both familiar and strikingly original.
The result is a layered, fruit-spiced profile that bridges whiskey structure with French apple-brandy elegance.
