ARLETT Tourbé Single Malt Whisky 43% Vol. 0,7l

Description

French single malt from a cognac house? That’s right: Arlett is a range of whiskies developed by the Tessendier family, who are also responsible for Saison Rum alongside the renowned Cognac Park brand.

Thanks to their decades of expertise in brandy production, the Tessendier distillery has created three single malts which, despite their young age, have an astonishingly smooth texture and a surprisingly complex range of flavours for young whiskies. The pronounced softness on the palate is the result of the gradual reduction to drinking strength, which takes place during maturation and gives the Arlett products their unique mouthfeel.

The peated Arlett Whisky, which is the only whisky in the range characterised by its distinctive smoke profile, is matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks over a period of three years. These casks, which were previously used to mature bourbon, give the whisky additional depth, while the peat smoke remains present throughout the maturation period and gives the whisky its characteristic smoky flavour.
