This gem of a distillery has been in the same family's hands for four generations, tucked away in a picturesque corner of France. This exceptional blended whisky release marks their debut in the States and we couldn't be more excited about it. The whisky is a mash of grain and malted barley distilled in pot stills and aged for a minimum of seven years in Sauternes casks from Bordeaux's top estates. Notes include apricot marmalade, orange blossom honey, kumquat, vanilla custard, white pepper, roasted almond and a thread of smoke. The palate is seamless and supple and just as inviting as the effusive aromas. This really blew us away and is easily one of the best values in the whisky category. A must-have.

Staff Pick Notes

Whisky? Distilled in Alsace?! As a fan of Alsatian wines, I had to give this one a go. Distilled from a mash of wheat and barley, my first initial response was surprise at how smooth and supple this was on the palate. Aged in ex-Sauternes casks, this whisky brings forth splendid notes of vanilla and smooth apricot. The Sauternes casks really shine on the finish as you’re left with the warm amber glow of dried stone fruit. This Alsatian gem goes swell in the rocks, neat, or will bring a nice change of pace to your next Manhattan or Sidecar.

Once part of the Holy Roman Empire, Alsace was gradually put under French sovereignty during the 17th Century and eventually made one of the provinces of France. Yet, as evidenced by the persistece of a dialect of Upper German in the region even today, Alsace's ties to Germany...
