French Single Malt Whisky

France does not simply repeat traditional whisky-making methods, but experiments with them. Taking great inspiration from whiskies around the world, each batch is purely unique. While they are usually quite sweet, you can also taste spicy or malty undertones.

We recommend pairing French single malt whisky with salty venison or lamb for a balanced flavour, and fruitcake for dessert. However, for those wanting to embrace the sweet flavour, a medium-bodied cheese platter and chocolate mousse also suits French single malt whisky well.

What makes French whisky unique?

French whiskies are often aged in oak and wine casks, producing unique profiles, which differ from the classic Scotch or Irish whisky. French whisky is made with various grains such as wheat, corn, barley and buckwheat. Their production focuses on terroir. Referring to how local environmental factors such as soil and climate can affect the flavour of the spirit.

How is French whisky made?

French whisky distilleries typically use traditional copper pot stills. It’s common for French whiskies to be double distilled. This process is said to remove excess water and provide a fuller-bodied flavour profile. During its maturation process, whisky is aged in french oak casks, many of which were used to mature wine.
