Insulae 002 – French Single Malt Whisky 46% – 50 cl

A bold and refined French whisky, Insulae 002 draws its inspiration from the islands (Insulae in Latin), but with the warmth and creativity of the Provençal terroir.

🍇 Origin & Design

• Made by Les Chineurs de Malts , artisanal distillers located between L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Le Thor, in Provence.

• Numbered vintage: only 1,660 bottles of this edition were produced, highlighting its limited nature.

• Aging: blend of three different types of casks — an ex-Cognac cask, an ex-Bourbon cask, and a white wine cask from the Rhône Valley.

• Reduced to 46%, achieved gradually according to the seasons and tastings to preserve the aromatic balance.

• Finish: unfiltered, cold-processed, natural color.

👃 Aromatic profile & tasting

• Colour : golden yellow.

• Nose : yellow fruit (peach, pear), floral and medicinal notes, vanilla from ex-Bourbon casks and a light woodiness.

• Palate : a rich attack, with brown sugar, fruit in syrup, orange peel.

• Final note : fresh, resinous, mentholated, with a nice length and finesse.

• Serving suggestion : pleasant as an aperitif or digestif.
