LE BREUIL 'Oloroso Finish' 3 Year Old French Single Malt Whisky by Chateau du Breuil Bottle (70cl) 46%abv

Description

The French Spiritery, Château du Breuil – Normandy has decided to give birth to the Single Malts of Château du Breuil. Experts in the distillation and aging of spirits since 1954, the estate’s master distillers have relied on their know-how, their audacity and their sensitivity to imagine a unique Single Malt whiskey of high quality. With Le Breuil, Château du Breuil has succeeded in creating the first French Single Malt whiskey produced from 100% Golden Promise barley, a variety known to be at the origin of whiskeys with an intense malty character, long and silky in the mouth, sourced from James Fawcett's Farm (Aberford, Scotland) & Yorkshire Woldfarms (Driffield, Scotland) and double-distilled in their copper pot stills before being aged in French oak and finished in oloroso sherry barrels.

Notes of walnut, plum, hazelnut and liquorice combine with gentle malty flavours and subtle touched of vanilla wood on the nose. Initially the palate is greeted by flavours of yeast, cocoa and fresh fig. This is followed by the more intricate notes of cherries in kirsch, red fruit and candied orange.
