The tasting |
|
|
Clear, amber hue. |
|
| | |
|
Very elegant and long-lingering, revealing aromas of dried flowers, honey and new leather, complemented by notes of vanilla and sweet spice. |
|
| | |
|
Discreet malty character with flavours of peaches and dried apricots, hints of roasting, a lovely powerful, creamy structure on the palate and remarkable length. |

The sommelier's advice |
|
|
Serve between 16-18°C, with a glass of chilled water on the side. |
|
| | |
|
Enjoy on its own like a great traditional malt served in a large whisky tumbler or try it in a cocktail or long drink. |

The distillery |
|
|
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! |

Bellevoye, is THE French whisky! All its ingredients, including the barley, are produced entirely in France. This unpeated blend of three single malts, selected for their excellent quality, was aged for 12 months in new barrels in the Bellevoye cellars near Cognac. Its astonishing aromatic complexity with notes of new leather and luxury saddlery, complemented by the exotic vanilla notes created by the oak, has won over lovers of great whiskies around the world. Well done! |
