The story

This exclusive edition, the result of a collaboration between InterCaves and the Rozelieures distillery, showcases French expertise in the world of whisky. Distilled in the heart of Lorraine, this peated single malt is carefully matured before being finished in Saint-Émilion casks , renowned for their contribution of rich and fruity aromas. This marriage of the power of peat and the smoothness of Bordeaux wines gives rise to a unique blend that celebrates the excellence of French terroirs.

The origin

Located in the village of Rozelieures, in Lorraine, this family-run distillery is a pioneer of whisky in France. Using locally grown grains and pure spring water, Rozelieures controls every step of production, from distillation to aging. The addition of casks that previously held Saint-Émilion, a prestigious Bordeaux wine, gives this whisky a unique aromatic depth, with a fruity and tannic touch that enhances the peat.

Tasting

• Nose: A complex and seductive nose, blending smoky peat aromas with fruity notes of red berries, grape, and plum. Woody and spicy accents, with a touch of vanilla and dark chocolate, complete this first impression.
• Palate: On the palate, there is a perfect balance between peat and fruit. The intense smoke is softened by flavors of black cherry, blackcurrant, and fig, derived from the Saint-Émilion casks. Subtle touches of caramel, black pepper, and toasted oak add beautiful complexity.
• Finish: The finish is long and elegant, marked by a smoky persistence and woody and fruity notes that intertwine harmoniously, leaving a warm and refined impression.
