Rozelieurs 8 Year Triple Cask Whisky 70CL

The French have many talents, but agriculture and food and drink are surely at the top.

So who says they can’t do whisky?  Rozelieurs combines these skills to produce one of the finest ranges of whisky out there.  From the bountiful slopes of the long extinct volcano Roselieurs, the Dupic family are farmers first and foremost (9^th generation on the land) and distillers second (6^th generation since 1890).

As farmers they have command of a superb terroir in the Grand-Est region of North East France and are one of a very small handful of single estate whisky distilleries in the world, controlling every single aspect of production.  Grain, malting, brewing, distillation, everything  is in house and that allows a fanatical obsession with quality to play out in their whisky.  Roselieurs are the second oldest whisky distillery in France so they’ve had plenty of time to perfect their art.

The French know their stuff.  Go and do likewise.

Rozelieures 8 Year Triple Cask is a rich, lightly peated French single malt whisky with 42% ABV and a 70 cl bottle size. It delivers deep complexity from its maturation in American oak, French oak, and wine casks.
