French Single Malt Whisky

Category: French Whisky

Date Tasted:
Country: France
Alcohol: 40%
Amber color. Aromas and flavors of prunes, flower garden, saddle leather, and peach fuzz with a sweet medium body and a tingling, medium-length finish that exhibits notes of stone fruit, nut brittle, peppery spices, and limestone. A delicate and nuanced malt whiskey that will be a nice summer sipper on ice and fun cocktail choice.

About
French Whisky
The French drink more Scotch whisky than anyone else and today, there are a few distilleries, primarily in Brittany, that craft a different style of whiskey. These are not peaty examples with notes of iodine as in Scotland, but rather elegant styles with notes of apricot, toffee and orange marmalade with a gentle spicy finish. The best are quite elegant and stylish and would be fine sipped in a small snifter or mixed in refined cocktails.
