Les Ocres Whisky

Category: French Whisky

Date Tasted:
Country: France
Alcohol: 46%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of toasted multigrain bread, apricot preserves, toffee and dark chocolate, and spiced plum pudding with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, appealing, medium-long finish with impressions of honeyed dried apricot, spiced bread pudding with plum sauce, caramel and vanilla, and baking spices and mango tea. Rich and rounded texture with good grain, nice barrel spice, and a pervasive fruit character of both stone fruit and red fruit from nose to finish.

About
French Whisky
The French drink more Scotch whisky than anyone else and today, there are a few distilleries, primarily in Brittany, that craft a different style of whiskey. These are not peaty examples with notes of iodine as in Scotland, but rather elegant styles with notes of apricot, toffee and orange marmalade with a gentle spicy finish. The best are quite elegant and stylish and would be fine sipped in a small snifter or mixed in refined cocktails.
