- Description
- Domaine des Hautes Glaces in the French Alps distilled this experimental whisky from malted spelt, a grain rarely seen in modern spirits. Aged in ex-Cognac casks at 53%, it combines the earthy, floral character of this forgotten grain with the refinement of Cognac wood influence. For adventurous drinkers interested in how French distillers are reviving historical grains.
