L'esprit du Malt - Guillon Champagne Cask Finish
L'Esprit du Malt - Guillon Champagne Cask Finish is a French single malt spirit produced by Distillerie Guillon.
Primary Aging: The spirit is initially aged for 7 years in white Burgundy barrels, such as those from Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet.
Secondary Finishing: It is then finished for an additional 6 to 8 months in Champagne casks, which previously held Champagne wines.
This dual maturation process allows the spirit to absorb a complex array of flavors from both types of casks, resulting in a unique and refined profile, offering a harmonious blend of fruity, floral, and woody notes
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Amber hue with dark red reflections.
Nose: Aromas of caramel, vanilla, aniseed, and cereals.
Palate: The initial taste is fruity and round, with flavors of vanilla, almond milk, apricot jam, white chocolate, and roasted hazelnut.
Finish: Sappy with medium persistence, featuring notes of tobacco leaf and milk caramel, leading to a well-balanced conclusion.
