Calvados is an apple brandy from the Normandy region of France. It tastes great by itself--and there are many varieties, some of them quite pricey--but is also a feature of some great cocktails, including, as noted here, ones with slightly spiced notes that go well with the fall season. Here in Tokyo, I enjoy Calvados with Wilkinson ginger ale in a kind of autumn highball--though any spicy ginger ale, especially hand-made varieties, would work.

I just made and tasted my first one and it really is quite nice. I saved this recipe rather than the other Corpse Reviver recipes because it is so much simpler and because I'm much more likely to use the ingredients again, for instance, in my favorite cocktail, the Sidecar. It's funny how the flavor of apple seems so much more pronounced and less musty here than when I drank the same calvados straight. Maybe the sweet vermouth picks it out?
Wordsworth from Wadsworth
A good Calvados is much better than applejack. It smells and tastes like biting into the essence of apple.
It's semi-expensive, and until a few years ago not distributed in some parts of the country.
The real question for this mixture is what brand of brandy? So many distributed in this country are awful. I'd like to find a brandy that is quality, good value, and won't break the bank for mixed drinks or cooking.

If you can find a bottle of Landy cognac, buy it! If not, try Lecarre, Very Special French Brandy. Though not as spectacularly unique and transcendent as Landy cognac, it is still very good, and much better than the brandies one commonly sees on offer in the U.S.

Calvados is French apple brandy, something like applejack.
