Distillery Info

The Balvenie French Oak whisky is a vibrant single malt finished in casks that previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards.

The Balvenie USA brand ambassador Lorne Cousin suggested David C. Stewart MBE explore these casks after a trip to the region with his family, where he fondly remembers sipping an aperitif.

What resulted was Pineau des Charentes which is a fortified wine made from unfermented grape juice, to which a Cognac eau-de-vie is added and then matured. Pineau is also found as a home-made product in the neighbouring Deau-Sevres and Vendee departments.
