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.
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.
