Description
French single malt from a cognac house? That’s right: Arlett is a range of whiskies developed by the Tessendier family, who are also responsible for Saison Rum alongside the renowned Cognac Park brand.
Thanks to their decades of expertise in brandy production, the Tessendier distillery has created three single malts which, despite their young age, have an astonishingly smooth texture and a surprisingly complex range of flavours for young whiskies. The pronounced softness on the palate is the result of the gradual reduction to drinking strength, which takes place during maturation and gives the Arlett products their unique mouthfeel.
The Arlett single malt is initially matured for three years in new American white oak and bourbon casks, which gives it a solid base of wood and bourbon notes. It is then given a one-year finish in rare Japanese Mizunara casks, which give it additional depth, softness and complex flavours.
