Named after the Old Cornish term for apple tree, Avallen is a calvados brand created by two leading drinks industry figures, Stephanie Jordan and Tim Etherington-Judge.

The pair came together with a plan to create the most environmentally positive spirit and their journey started with research into the environmental impact of different spirits' raw materials, from grapes and grain to cane and agave. Their search led them to Normandy, the home of calvados.
