Le Breuil - Whisky Single Malt - Origine

Key words: Fruity / Round / Elegant

The spirit: Origine is a delicious French Single Malt Whiskey having been distilled then aged in barrels at the renowned Château du Breuil, in Normandy. Its typicality comes largely from the variety of barley used here: Golden Promise. It is from this that this beautiful spirit draws its bright fruitiness evolving into gourmet notes of peach, pear, apricot and nectarine. Its palate then evolves into beautiful cereal notes, blending elegantly with a pretty woodiness as well as a fine touch of vanilla. The whole has a magnificent length and proves that in Normandy, we also know how to produce great whiskeys!

The brand: Built at the beginning of the 16th century, the Château du Breuil is a place steeped in history. Indeed, since the French Revolution, several owners have succeeded one another and different economic activities have taken over the place: linen spinning, cheese factory, chocolate factory, cider factory, etc. However, it is indeed a Calvados distillery which has occupied the premises since 1954. The property today has 42 hectares on which more than 800 varieties of apples grow (sweet, bitter, bittersweet, sour). After belonging to the Swiss Diwisa group for around thirty years, the company returned to the French flag in April 2020 and extended its activity to other spirits: whiskeys (distilled on site) and rums (refined on site) make now part of the range and are of a superb standard. Today, the brand's influence is international and honors French know-how.
