Description
Samalens' Tchankat Classic draws on the distillery's Armagnac expertise, using a bourbon-style 80% corn, 10% barley, 10% rye mashbill distilled in traditional Charentais stills before aging in re-toasted Château Gruaud Larose barrels. The corn-forward spirit gains depth from the wine barrel influence, creating a French take on bourbon whisky tradition. Named after the stilted shepherds of the Landes, this expression bridges local corn abundance with regional winemaking heritage.
