Le Breuil Whisky Tourbé - Single Malt

Keywords : Peated / Spicy / Fruity 

The spirit : This delicious French Single Malt Whisky from Maison du Breuil gives pride of place to peat thanks to aging in oak barrels that previously belonged to the Scottish distillery Laphroaig, a specialist in the field. Here, the peated aspect is therefore intense but also perfectly balanced, never becoming heavy and instead evoking ashy notes. These are combined with fruity aromas (grapefruit, peach) as well as a touch of pepper. On the palate, a silky woodiness bringing vanilla and cinnamon blends gracefully with the whole. The finish is particularly lingering, making you want to return to it immediately. Superb in precision and character!

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 various economic activities have taken place there: linen spinning mill, cheese factory, chocolate factory, cider house, etc. Nevertheless, it has been a Calvados distillery occupying the premises since 1954. The property now covers 42 hectares on which more than 800 varieties of apples grow (sweet, bitter, bittersweet, tart). After belonging to the Swiss group Diwisa for about thirty years, the company returned to French ownership in April 2020 and expanded its activity to other spirits: whiskies (distilled on site) and rums (aged on site) are now part of the range and are of superb quality. Today, the brand's influence is international and does honor to French know-how.
