Brenne Estate Cask Single Malt Whisky

Introduction

Founded by a former ballerina turned whisky entrepreneur, Allison Parc, Brenne was started with Allison’s small life savings and a big dream to show terroir, a sense of place in the smell and taste is possible when making great single malt whisky. She created Brenne from seed to spirit, with a third-generation Cognac maker at this family farm distillery in the heart of Cognac, France. First released in New York City in 2012, the award-winning whisky embodies the elegant nature of its French terroir. It brings an entirely new style of French single-malt whisky to the rapidly emerging world whisky segment.

The first single malt in the world aged exclusively in French Limousin Oak and Cognac casks, Brenne Estate Cask, is twice-distilled in a copper alembic still and aged for a minimum of six years. The whisky has perfumed fruit and French patisserie aromas with creamy and complex sugar notes of rich creme brulee and burnt caramel. On the palate, notes of banana, tropical fruits, and warm spices such as cinnamon and clove.
