Indeed, back in the early 2000s, French whisky couldn’t be described as a “category” (still not really the case today but we’re slowly moving in this direction…)<\/em>. At that time, French distilleries were more producing some sort of Scotch copycats rather than typical French whisky. According to its centuries-old distillation traditions and its taste for fine spirits (and especially whisky!), Allison justly thought France needed a whisky which would reflect its territory, its traditions and people.<\/p>\n “As in wine, I think there is still so much to be explored with terroir in whisky<\/strong>.” <\/em><\/p>\n “Brenne, to me, is a perfect example of what can happen if you work with the earth and culture around you. The result of which has created a wonderfully smooth, approachable and elegant single malt.\u00a0 I hope that it offers those new to whisky an easy entry point and for those who are experienced, I hope that Brenne gives them a totally new experience and continues to open up their minds to all of the possibilities that this wonderful spirit can offer.” (connosr<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n Produced from local raw materials (including organic barley straight from the property) by a third-generation producer, twice distilled in Charente stills (cognac stills) and matured in both new Limousin oak barrels and cognac barrels, Brenne is Charente in a bottle!<\/p>\n “I didn\u2019t develop this to be a gimmick. \u00a0It\u2019s the farthest thing from that (and doesn\u2019t taste anything like Scotch)! \u00a0Instead, it is a whisky that fully embraces the terroir and culture of the Cognac region in France.\u00a0 Once I let people know that Brenne is not mass-produced and is really only handled by simply the distiller and myself, then their curiosity takes over and once they try it, they are often happily surprised!”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
