Lasdoux Original Single Malt Whisky 4 Years, 3L Petite Dame-Jeanne
DESCRIPTION
A 3 litre Petite Dame-Jeanne engraved with the Lasdoux logo, with its neck label, delivered with a 70 cl bottle of the same cuvée and a serving pipette. Enough for around sixty tastings.
At the Domaine de Lasdoux, home of the Lhéraud family since 1680, the house brings the rigour of its cognacs to grain. L’Original is one of the three French whiskies in the Lasdoux range. This single malt is distilled in the house’s own stills, then aged 4 years in new American oak barrels in the Charente cellars. It is unpeated: the most approachable whisky in the range.
The nose opens on vanilla and caramel, with spices and a light smoky touch from the wood. The palate is generous and rich: chocolate wraps around the fruit, in fine balance. The finish is long.
Serve it neat, with an ice cube or in a cocktail. At the table, it pairs with a board of aged cheeses or a chocolate dessert.
Personalised engraving on request by Maison Lhéraud, with a slightly longer lead time. Order before 10 December for delivery before the holidays.
REGION
Nouvelle-Aquitaine
France
Nouvelle-Aquitaine is the largest wine region in France, stretching from Poitiers to Pau through iconic areas such as Bordeaux, Cognac, Agen and Bergerac. It holds an exceptional diversity of terroirs, backed by centuries of winemaking and distilling know how, making it the birthplace of some of the most renowned spirits in the world.
In the north, in Charente and Charente Maritime, they make the famous Cognac, double distilled from white wines, and Pineau des Charentes, a fortified wine blending grape must and young cognac, loved for its freshness and roundness.
Further south, in the Gers, the Landes and Lot et Garonne, they produce Armagnac, the oldest brandy in France. Traditionally distilled in a continuous still, it comes from three areas: Haut Armagnac, Ténarèze and Bas Armagnac. These three terroirs sit on the Lannemezan alluvial fan, an ancient soil of sand, clay and pebbles from the erosion of the Pyrenees. They give expressive, elegant and nuanced brandies, with aromas of ripe fruit, sweet spice and dried fruit, revealed as they age in cask.
Recommended for you:
A stunning French whisky, rounded and smooth, with a subtle smokiness in the background reminiscent of charred casks. A lovely length.
