french malt whisky heritage by alfred giraud

A limited-production whisky dependent on the availability of exceptional casks, HERITAGE is a blend of three non-peated French malt distillates matured in three types of casks: mainly those previously used to age extra old cognac plus some new casks made from French Limousin or American oak. The blend is then matured exclusively in casks previously used to age extra-old cognacs. The ex-extra old cognac casks bestow a complex, balanced and elegant nose. Straightforward at first, in the mouth it achieves a balance between strength and body with a long palate of pear and candied fruit followed by a sweet finish.
