LE BREUIL 'Origine' 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. An emblematic variety of the 1960s, Golden Promise is the barley used in the production of world-famous whiskies.

Distilled from 100% Golden Promise Barley sourced from James Fawcett's Farm (Aberford, Scotland) & Yorkshire Woldfarms (Driffield, Scotland) and double-distilled in their copper pot stills before being aged in a combination of French and American Oak barrels.

Nose: Subtle notes of newly malted grains, light fruits (peach and pear) and hazelnut, complemented by a delicate hint of wood.
Palate: The initial impression is characterised by the aromas of sweet almonds and linseed, followed by subtle notes of lime blossom, vanilla and dried fruits.
