An exceptional French whisky from a triple blend and aged in cognac barrels

Alfred Giraud, the excellence of French whisky inspired by cognac

Alfred Giraud is a French whisky house founded by the Giraud family, who have over a century of expertise in spirits, particularly in cognac. Located in Saint-Palais-de-Négrignac in Charente-Maritime, the distillery uses local oak barrels and benefits from an oceanic climate conducive to aging.

Heritage, an exceptional triple malt aged in three types of barrels

Alfred Giraud's "Heritage" embodies the excellence of French know-how in whisky. This sophisticated blend is made from three non-peated French malts, each aged separately in three different types of barrels: old cognac barrels, new French oak barrels from Limousin, and new American oak barrels.

This "Triple Malt, Triple Wood" approach gives the whisky a remarkable aromatic complexity. After the initial blend, the whisky benefits from additional maturation in barrels that have contained old cognacs, bringing a unique gourmet dimension to this spirit.

Production is deliberately limited, ensuring optimal quality control and a rarity that makes it a product sought after by collectors and lovers of exceptional whisky. Bottled at 45.9% alcohol, this whisky is presented in an elegant case that underlines its premium character.
