Brenne

Brenne…Sacré Bleu mon ami…One of the Snob’s favorite whisky bloggers has launched her own single malt!  Kudos to the Whisky Woman for this world class achievement in the distilling arena.  This lovely and well balenced French Single Malt is aged in Cognac barrels which infuses the malt with a delightful sweetness, adding to the complexity.  I detected equal parts of subtle fruit and grain initially and the finish was lingering and just a bit spicy.  Finding this malted tour de force will take some patience as distribution progresses but this link will allow you to purchase a bottle from your favorite chair.

I suggest this might be the perfect after dinner whisky for those in the know.  Vive la différence !  Holiday rated 8.5 on the snob scale and a must try !
