Distillerie Bertrand Uberach 5yo Alsace Single Malt Whisky

Description

Hailing from Alsace, that famous wine region renowned for their full boded whites, this distillery has built a fine reputation for classic French, fruit based, eau-de-vie’s.  But since 2012, the owners have turned their attention to single malt whiskies.

Using the intriguing Holstein still, a mix of pot and column, an important feature of this distillery is the use of French oak wine barrels that once stored a variety of wine styles, especially sweet ones.

And Bertrand’s distilling philosophy? Local, atypical and 100% French taste.

For this 5yo, Uberach is the town where is made, the sweet wines of Banyuls is a the cask of choice.

Official notes read, “This whisky has an aroma of fruit and floral spirits, Greengage and Cherry plum, pear followed by honeysuckle, lavender and holyberry. It has notes of caramelised Pear Tart sprinkled with cinnamon and vanilla. With passion fruit and violet on the finish”.
