French Whisky - 50cl 46°
Single Malt
Maison Benjamin Kuentz
Aged between 5 and 7 years in ex-Cognac and ex-Bourbon casks.
A word from Cave de France: "(D’un) Verre Printanier" (A Spring Glass) is distinguished by its lightness and refinement, evoking the delicate flavors of spring. It is a fresh and floral whisky, designed to be accessible while remaining sophisticated.
The nose develops floral and herbaceous aromas, with notes of white flowers, linden, and citrus.
The palate, light and subtle, reveals flavors of pear, citrus, and vanilla, with a hint of sweet spices.
The finish is clear and clean, with soft and fresh impressions like a spring breath.
Maison Kuentz, founded by Benjamin Kuentz himself, a gastronomy and spirits enthusiast, stands out with an original concept: rather than producing whisky in a single distillery, Benjamin Kuentz collaborates with several French distilleries to create whiskies with varied profiles. His approach is inspired by the world of literary publishing, where each creation tells a story through aromas and flavors.
Benjamin Kuentz considers himself a "whisky editor," seeking to reveal the richness of French terroirs through his creations. He relies on the art of blending and maturation to compose unique whiskies, while highlighting local expertise. He collaborates with distilleries located in different regions of France, such as Brittany or Lorraine, to craft whiskies that reflect the diversity of French raw materials.
Benjamin Kuentz's whiskies are often elegant, modern, and stand out for their finesse and originality. They are designed to be accessible, but with a depth that also appeals to connoisseurs.
Benjamin Kuentz's goal is to reinvent the image of French whisky by combining innovation and tradition, with a strong emphasis on terroir and creativity.
