French Malt Whisky Harmonie By Alfred Giraud

A very limited-production whisky dependent on the availability of exceptional casks, HARMONIE begins with a blend of three non-peated French malt distillates matured in three types of casks: the vast majority include casks previously used to age ancient cognac plus some new casks made from French Limousin or American oak. The triple malt is then matured exclusively in ex-extra old cognac casks, then blended with a lightly peated French malt distillate before being finished in the same ex-extra old cognac casks until reaching the optimal flavor profile. The ex-extra old cognac casks bestow a complex, balanced and an elegant nose with a touch of smokiness. Spirited at first, on the palate it achieves a balance between fruity and floral notes with a discreet hint of peat.
