French Whisky 70cl 48° X 6 = €46 per bottle
Single Malt
Tessendier Distillery
A word from Cave de France: After 3 years of aging in American oak barrels, this superior Single Malt from Maison Tessendier is finished in rum barrels from Barbados. The result is a beautiful vanilla dominance, with hints of spice, licorice, and banana. The palate is as pleasant as the nose is promising, with a lovely creaminess and a very appreciable length.
The whisky is made from French barley and distilled in Charentais stills.
As with the entire Arlett range, Maison Tessendier confirms the excellence of its production; highly accomplished whiskies of great finesse and undeniable quality.
The Tessendier distillery is a family business rooted in the history of Charentais spirits since 1880, when Gaston Tessendier planted his first vines in the Borderies cru. Today, it is managed by the fourth generation, brothers Jérôme and Lilian Tessendier, who combine tradition and innovation: while continuing to produce cognacs, they have diversified their production into whiskies, rums, gins, and other spirits. The distillery has a complete setup: vineyards, brewery, stills, cellars, laboratories, and can perform up to a thousand blends per year. Their very artisanal approach relies on rigorous control at every stage – from the cultivation of cereals to distillation, including barrel aging and blending – to create rich, consistent, and audacious spirits, while showcasing their family expertise.
