À propos

French Limousin or Tronçais oak casks used to mature cognac. French oak has a tighter grain than American oak, contributing more tannin and less vanilla. The cognac residue adds a refined grape-spirit character — honeyed, perfumed, and gently fruity. These casks are relatively uncommon in the whisky industry, making cognac-finished whiskies distinctive and collectible.
