G.E. Massenez is a renowned producer from Normandy, France, famous for its traditional apple- and fruit-based eaux-de-vie. One of their most iconic offerings is the “Prisoner” Calvados — a bottle containing a whole apple that was grown inside the bottle itself. The technique involves hanging bottles on apple trees during blossom so that the fruit develops naturally inside. Once ripe, the bottle is detached, filled with aged Calvados, and the result is both a striking visual and a refined apple brandy.
