Le Breuil Normandie Origine Single Malt Whisky

Château du Breuil, spirits producer since 1954, has created the first French single malt made 100% from the Golden Promise old barley. This barley is famous for giving intense malted whiskies, long and silky in mouth. By selecting this one for its first range, Château du Breuil has chosen quality instead of quantity. Indeed, the Golden Promise is known for having a low yield per hectare (1/3 less than the modern varieties) and in pure alcohol (10% less). A rare and high quality barley that the producer respects during all the production steps (traditional malting to respect the grain,  a low intensity during the kilning to emphasize the flavours of the cereal. Double pot distilled and aged in a mixture of French and American oak barrels.
