Brenne Ten Year French Single Malt Whiskey

750mL | 48% ABV | France | 100% Organic Barley

Process & Profile

Brenne Ten is a rare French single malt whiskey crafted from organic barley and proofed with water from the Charente River. Distilled twice in alembic Charente stills traditionally used for Cognac, the whiskey is then aged for a full decade in a combination of new French Limousin oak and ex-Cognac barrels. Each annual release is a blend of just a few hand-selected casks, making it a highly limited and unique expression.
