Our mash is made through an infusion of 600 kilograms of malt.

During the “high temperature” fermentation (25°C), our wort develops its subtle tastes and alcohol (8%Vol. average).

Distillation

Still / Stuptfler® column / Condenser

All our distillations are made in small batches in our Stupfler® still. Its internationally recognized special column reveals all the taste of the distillate.

Maturation

Wood cask maturation

Bottling

Maturation takes place in different casks throughout the years, giving more complexity to the taste of the whisky. Oak barrels are used, ranging from new ones to those having contained cognac, rum or great French wines.

Our privileged relationships with our barrels suppliers ensure that we always obtain the highest quality product.
