Normandy

Normandy is one of the most famous destinations in France and in the world, most notably for its architecture, historic D-Day Landing Beaches, fresh-from-the-harbour seafood or cheeses like the famous camembert, symbol or ambassador of the country everywhere.

Normandy is a significant cider-producing region, and also produces calvados, a distilled cider or apple brandy. Now, Normandy is a land of Whisky! The mild, humid Normandy climate, with the sea not far off and the Touques river winding around the estate and its lake, lends itself perfectly to the ageing of Single Malts.

Chateau Le Breuil & Maison Boinaud

The result of the collaboration between two family distilleries, La Spiriterie Française, Château du Breuil – Normandie and Maison Boinaud, a new range of French whisky under the brand name Le Breuil is born.
To create this whisky, a long work of selections, tastings and iterations was carried out between Philippe Etignard, Cellar Master of Château du Breuil and the cellar teams of Maison Boinaud. A meticulous marriage between Le Breuil Single Malt – Origine and Maison Boinaud Single Malt Whisky allows to obtain balanced and complementary organoleptic characteristics of the Whiskies.

Normandy

Areas near the Seine (the former Upper Normandy region) contain a higher concentration of industry. Normandy is a significant cider-producing region, and also produces calvados, a distilled cider or apple brandy.

Normandy seems now a land of Whisky! The mild, humid Normandy climate, with the sea not far off and the Touques river winding around the estate and its lake, lends itself perfectly to the ageing of Single Malts.

Le Breuil

With whisky Le Breuil, Château du Breuil has succeeded in creating the first French single malt whisky produced entirely from Golden Promise barley, a variety known for producing whiskies with an intense malty character that are long and silky on the palate.

By selecting this variety for its first range, Château du Breuil has favoured quality over quantity. Indeed, Golden Promise barley has the particularity of having a low yield per hectare (1/3 lower than current varieties) and pure alcohol (10% lower than current varieties).

Double distillation in pots still. Maturing in 200/250L French & American barrels.

RUM EXPLORER “Dominican Republic” 41%

shop_admin — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 06:51:27 +0000

This is a new range of Rum from Château du Breuil.
After distillation and maturation in their original country, all the rums are matured for several months in the cellars of the premium Calvados producer before being bottled. The refining by the Cellar Master is different for each origin.

THE MATURING OF THE CELLAR MASTER

This rum from the Dominican Republic has been matured for several months in the cellars of Château du Breuil. His stay in former Port and American oak barrels brings him gluttony. A rum with sweet notes of honey, vanilla and black fruits.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Copper with golden reflections

NOSE: This rum expresses itself on gluttony with flavors of orange, coffee and vanilla. Notes of sour cherries and caramel coat it all.

MOUTH: The attack is frank on the flavors of coffee and cocoa. Then come the spices and discreet forest fruits. The finish is very round

Martinique

Martinique, a French Caribbean island, is mainly producing “Rhum Agricole”, which is obtained by distilling of sugar cane juice. This kind of rum is more aromatic. To produce 10 litres of rum roughly 100 kg of sugar cane needs to be processed.
In 1996, the Martinican Rhum Agricole obtained an AOC recognition, “Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée’’ and is the only one so far.

Like in Cognac or Armagnac, there are strict ageing conditions & appellations:
*“Rhum Blanc Agricole Martinique”: min. 8 weeks in steel tanks
*“Rhum Vieux Agricole”: min. 3 years in oak casks of mac 650L
*“Rhum Extra Vieux Agricole, XO”: min. 6 years in oak casks
All ageing & bottling must be done on the island.
No Additional Flavor & No Additional Sugar

Rhum Clément

Rhum Clément has been established in 1887 when Homère Clément, physician and mayor of Le François in Martinique, purchased a 43-hectare sugar plantation, Domaine de L’Acajou.
Inspired by the enjoyment of great brandies while studying in his early years in Paris, Homère mimicked the distillers of the great Armagnac’s of southwestern France to perfect his method of rhum production known today as Rhum Agricole.Nowadays, Rhum Clément has 8000 barrels patiently aged in their 5 historical cellars and is a leading producer of A.O.C. Martinique Rhum Agricole, exporting to 80 different countries.
Around 8% of the volume of each barrel is lost every year due to « evaporation » (or Angel share). The aging is also unique, known to go 2.5 times faster than in Europe or Kentucky due to the high temperature and humidity.

Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States located between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic, east of the Dominican Republic, approximately 1,600 km southeast of Miami, Florida.
Puerto Rico is one of the biggest and best rum-producing nations in the world. The climate of Puerto Rico is just right for producing the sugar cane from which rum (or ron, as the locals know it) is made.
The spirit is also a big part of the island’s history. Juan Ponce de León first brought Creole sugar cane rootstocks from La Española (Dominican Republic) in 1506. Eleven years later, the first sugar mill was established in Añasco. Rum production began in the 1650s.
Today, more than 80% of the rum consumed in the USA hails from this island.

Don Q

In 1861, Don Juan Serrallés founded a small sugar cane plantation – the Hacienda Mercedita.
In 1865, he produced his first few casks of rum using a five-tray copper pot still he had imported from France. With that, the Serrallés family rum tradition had begun.
In 1934, the family launched Don Q. the brand is named for Don Quixote, the famous literary character from the family’s favorite novel.
In 1954, the original Piña Colada was created at The Caribe Hilton hotel in Old San Juan, by Ramon ‘Monchito’ Marrero using Don Q Gold rum!
Today, Serrallés 6^th generation is one of America’s oldest family-owned and operated companies.
The company is the leading rum producer in Puerto Rico
The brands have close to 70% market share in PR, selling over 1 million cases there.
