Ninalys Whisky vieilli en fût de Chardonnay is a consummate example of the house style, the ideal starting point for discovering French-style single malts. It’s a suave reflection of its origins, mirroring where it comes from through the grains and the wine casks that were selected to distill and age it. The single malt is made from 100 % malted barley. The new make obtained after a double distillation in our Charentais stills is then aged in toasted French oak barrels, as well as barrels used for French Chardonnay. It will mature for more than 3 years, before being blended and slowly reduced with fresh Tarare water until it reaches 46 % ABV.
Captivating aromas of orchard fruits, reminiscent of a stroll through a sun-kissed orchard. The delicate scent of pastry in the air mingles with the warmth of roasted apricot, creating an enticing symphony. The nose concludes with a gentle drizzle of honey, adding a touch of sweetness to this aromatic journey.
The palate unfolds with a luxurious and velvety texture, delivering a rich and buttery sensation. Malty notes dance on the taste buds, accompanied by the comforting embrace of vanilla and the exotic allure of tonka bean. This harmonious blend creates a palate that is both indulgent and complex, inviting you to savor each nuanced sip.
The grand finale is a delightful sweetness, echoing the earlier notes of honey but now accompanied by the lingering presence of candied fruits. The symphony of flavors leaves a lasting impression, making each sip a memorable and satisfying experience. This spirit offers a well-balanced journey from the orchard to the final sweet embrace, leaving a trail of warmth and satisfaction.
