Bellevoye Rouge, the triple malt expression, is a French whisky uniquely aged in barrels from Bordeaux's finest Grand Cru wines. On the nose, it presents intense and complex aromas—a rich blend of fresh fruit and grain notes. As it opens up, the malt reveals flavors of plum, crème brûlée, and early autumn walnuts. Its complexity deepens on the palate, notable for its power and creamy texture. The taste evokes the richness of Medjool dates, while subtle spicy hints and brown sugar enhance the delightful finish.
Elaboration:
Triple Malt, lightly peated, a unique blend of France's finest single malts, primary aged for 5 to 10 years in French oak barrels at each of the 3 selected distilleries, secondary aged for 6 months in new French oak barrels toasted by the distilleries using a unique method at the Bellevoye winery in the Charente region, finishing aged for 6 months in Grands Crus du Bordelais barrels, also at the Bellevoye winery in the Charente region. The absence of sulfur in the freshly emptied barrels guarantees the complexity and aromatic purity of this whisky.Color:
