Gwalarn - Celtic Whiskey Blend - 40%
Celtic Whiskey Distillerie is located in Pleubian, in the Côtes d'Armor department in Brittany . It was founded in 1997 by Martine and Jean Donnay and is considered a pioneer of French whiskey. The distillery brings together a certain number of specificities which guarantee the production of whiskeys in the purest artisanal tradition: heating with an open flame, slow distillation, the presence of traditional equipment such as two small iron stills as well as wooden fermenters. . Also, aging whiskey by the sea promotes early balance and complexity. In 2020, Maison Villevert (a recognized player in the world of exceptional French spirits, based in the Cognac region) announced that it had acquired Celtic Whiskey Distillerie.
The first Single Malt produced by Celtic Whiskey Distillerie is called Glann ar Mor , Breton translation of “Bord de Mer”. Kornog , the distillery's second Single Malt, is distinguished by its strongly peated character reminiscent of Scottish whiskeys from the island of Islay. Gwalarn is the blend produced by the distillery.
Gwalarn means “the northwest wind” in Breton. It is a blend born from the assembly of Celtic origins; the complexity of a Scottish whisky, the character of a German whisky, the finesse of a French whisky.
