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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”15328″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
With whisky Le Breuil, Ch\u00e2teau 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.<\/p>\n
By selecting this variety for its first range, Ch\u00e2teau 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).<\/p>\n

100% distilled, aged and matured by Chateau du Breuil in Normandy.<\/p>\n
Colour: pale gold \/ Bouquet: slightly smoky, with notes of undergrowth, laurel and fresh cereal. The wood is toasty and grilled \/ Palate: the peat is more expressive and encompasses aromas of pepper, grapefruit and cardamom. The finish is delightfully delicate with aromas of praline, exotic fruit and wild peach. Plenty of finesse with an overlay of peat. Persistent and complex with a long finish. \u201cWell balanced peated flavour with roundness\u201d.<\/p>\n
