Bellevoye, is THE French whisky! All its ingredients, including the barley, are produced entirely in France. Bellevoye Noir is the only Bellevoye whisky that is unashamedly peaty. The peat creates aromas of iodine, liquorice, ashes and eugenol. The palate shows lovely roundness, breadth, and a fabulous impression of mellowness. It salinity endows it with a fresh and harmonious balance, its structure is coated thanks to its elegant tannin.

Elaboration:

100% French peated triple malt, i.e. a blend of the three best peated Single Malts in France (Northeast, East and North of France). All the components are entirely French, the very small production allows a barrel-by-barrel selection of the finest whiskies, 5 to 8 years primary ageing in French oak barrels at each of the selected French distilleries, an original blend of the 3 finest Peated Single Malts in France, followed by 9 to 12 months' secondary ageing in new fine-grained French oak barrels toasted in house, in order to bring out the peaty notes from the barley grain, in the Bellevoye cellars near Cognac.

Nose:

Alexandre Sirech and Jean Moueix, respectively former boss of Havana Club and famous Bordeaux négociant, joined forces in 2013 to create Les Bienheureux, a range of spirits starting with a Whisky produced in the Cognac region of France. Their aim was to demonstrate the added value created by their blends and the quality of their base spirits, despite an already very diversified market. Their whiskies have been a big hit in lounge bars and with whisky enthusiasts. Discover this fine "Made in France" spirit - it's mind-blowing!
