What is MilHòc Le Premier-Né French Single Grain Whisky?
MilHòc Le Premier-Né showcases the unique terroir of Gascony by blending corn whisky with Armagnac cask aging, creating a spirit that bridges French brandy and whisky traditions. Interestingly, the distillery's corn fields are fertilized using the spent grains from whisky production, creating a sustainable closed-loop system that enhances both crop yields and whisky flavor.
Why do we love MilHòc Le Premier-Né French Single Grain Whisky?
MilHòc Le Premier-Né French Single Grain Whisky offers cocktail enthusiasts a unique taste of Gascony, with its corn and malted barley mashbill aged in Armagnac barrels from the Château de Laubade estate, creating a smooth and structured spirit that bridges the gap between traditional French brandy and contemporary whisky.
How do you drink MilHòc Le Premier-Né French Single Grain Whisky?
Savor MilHòc Le Premier-Né neat or with a splash of water to fully appreciate its nuanced flavors, or enjoy it in grain-forward cocktails that highlight its citrusy notes; this versatile whisky shines in warmer weather and pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or rich, creamy desserts.
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.
