Brenne "Estate" Single Cask Single Malt Whisky (750ml)

Notes

It started with a wild vision and some dumb luck, but when Allison Parc discovered this small grape grower in Cognac, who happened to plant organic barley in between his vines, she knew she'd found something special. A lover of whisky, the farmer/distiller made whisky in his alembic pot still for his own personal use, but when Allison got a hold of him she talked him into creating a brand for this rarity. Using organic barley, the whisky is first aged for more than 3-5 years in new French Limousin oak before being transferred into freshly used cognac casks for a further 3-4 years of aging. This is bottled as single barrels at the classic cognac strength of 40%. The resulting product is unlike any other. A distinctly French whisky that will appeal to bourbon, cognac, and malt drinkers alike. From the Beverage Testing Institute: "Clear gold color. Fruity aromas of violet and lilac candies, fruit snack and spumoni, clove cigarette, and vanilla cologne with a silky, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, complex, medium-long orange flower water, sweet almond and cashew, blueberry and hibiscus and white chocolate, and honey and dried white flowers finish. A feminine and exotic spirit; a cognac-lover’s transition to whisky. *Highly Recommended* " (08/2017)
