G.Rozelieures releases a limited edition whisky matured in Vosne Romanée casks. These barrels had housed some of the best red wines of Burgundy and bring a floral note into the peatiness of the whisky. An impressive single malt with an explosive palette of aromas, double distilled and peated at 45 ppm. For this edition, only 384 bottles were released and each has been numbered by hand.
Tasting notes
Gold
Fresh, floral and peaty. Light smoky notes open up with citrus and fruity aromas. Mineral aromas emerge, after adding a drop of water keeping the floral bouquet in perfect balance
The texture is thicker than the nose suggests. White chocolate and peat give way to red fruits and a slight salinity complete the rich palette.
A long finish with a slightly peppery and nutty taste.
The Grallet-Dupic Distillery was founded in 1860 by Hubert Grallet in Rozelieures, a small town of only 160 inhabitants. The distillery uses locally grown barley for their peaty malts, their whiskeys are double distilled in Charentais pot stills and aged in a variety of casks from different parts of the world. Their creations are inspired by the Lorraine region’s nature where conditions for the production of whisky are ideal.
