Brenne Single Malt French Whisky Finished in Cognac Barrels 750 ML

Brenne creates its single malt whisky in copper alembic stills instead of copper pot stills. Initially aged in new Limousin oak, this whisky is finished in ex-Cognac casks and bottled in batches without blending to maximize the uniqueness of character. A nose of dried fruits, spiced wood, toasted vanilla and light floral essence leads to a smooth and silky mouthfeel with aspects of spicy black tea, chocolate, dried orange peel, and vanilla cream, all topped with cinnamon sugar. Lingering traces of honeyed spice on the finish; creamy and fireside-warm. Most American whisky fans are unfamiliar with French single malts, but one advantage French distillers have is access to a great range of cask types, including former Cognac barrels. The Brenne Whisky label, aiming to bring French whisky to American drinkers, has unveiled a new expression of the popular Brenne Whisky.
