Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Bright citrus zest mingles with toasted oak and warm vanilla. Hints of soft baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add complexity. A subtle undercurrent of fresh corn reminds you of the whisky's grain foundation.

Palate: Rich and velvety texture coats the tongue. Initial sweetness of caramel and ripe stone fruits gives way to more pronounced oak influence. Vanilla and butterscotch notes are balanced by a gentle peppery spice. The corn's natural sweetness provides a smooth backdrop.

Finish: Long and elegant, with lingering warmth. Dried fruit and honey flavors fade slowly, leaving behind pleasant oak tannins and a whisper of citrus peel. A final subtle nuttiness emerges, reminiscent of toasted almonds.

MilHòc Le Premier-Né is crafted from locally grown corn and French malted barley, distilled on-site at Château de Laubade in Gascony, and aged for 4-5 years in a unique combination of Armagnac, Bourbon, and new French oak barrels, resulting in a whisky that marries French terroir with traditional Scottish whisky-making techniques.

MilHòc whisky is made on the grounds of a historic Armagnac estate, Château de Laubade, blending centuries-old brandy-making expertise with innovative whisky production techniques.

The name "MilHòc" is derived from the Gascon dialect, meaning "corn," paying homage to the local agricultural heritage and the whisky's primary grain ingredient.

Unlike most French whiskies that source their grains, MilHòc uses corn grown directly on the château's estate, creating a true "grain-to-glass" French single grain whisky with unparalleled terroir expression.
