Paul
Paul,
For a French Single malt I was surprised by the good taste.
 
Thomas
Thomas,
Not bad not good. I thought a drop of water was welcomed to pass the harshness of this whisky. Toffee and chocolate were the main distinction but no real distinction to my opinion 🤷‍♂️
 
Andreas
Andreas,
Never tried a frensh whisky before but this one was a Nice surprise.
 
Mortimer
Mortimer,
Good nose but a bit too weak when drank for my taste
 
Amelia
Amelia,
Once it breaths the chocolate is very prevalent. The smell is off putting to us, almost tequila smelling.
 
Darragh
Darragh,
A pleasant enough drink, slightly peaty but not overpowering (I'm not a fan of very peaty whiskies)
 
Owen
Owen,
Lovely and fruity with notes that remind me of a sauvignon blanc on the nose. Strong but very pleasant chocolate and dried fruit flavour initially with a hint of oak and liquorice to follow, with a delightful sweet salted toffee finish. Not as smooth as an Irish whiskey and benefits from a cube of ice or drop of water to release flavour and mellow it out a little. Definitely one I'll buy again, as it won't be long till I finish this one. 😁
 
Shannon
Shannon,
Really liked the apple and chocolate notes
 
Antti
Antti,
It is a very good, elegant, Pure Malt Whisky that has a fruity birth while a complex life leads to a balanced death of medium length with notes of sea-salt toffee.
 
Clark
Clark,
Quite a nice bottle. The honey flavour/sweetness is apparent. If I was to blind taste-test it I would have guessed it was a bourbon.
 
Anna
Anna,
If you like cognac (which I do) this is a treat. Heavy cognac/apple on the nose and then a nice surprise dried fruit (fig?) dash on the palate, with a nice maritime finish that reminds me of an unpeated Islay.
 
Alex
Alex,
Never knew any whisky was made in France. It’s quite good too, lovely notes of cocoa & chocolate make this whisky an unexpected delight
 
Elliot
Elliot,
Harsh start to faded finish makes it reasonably smooth, not particularly full bodied, but a decent drink.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
Has a nice subtle fruit with spice flavors and decent non-lingering burn. On ice the burn goes away and the fruit is more prominent.
 
Dylan
Dylan,
I am from NC and the smell and first taste is a bit like shine. After the bite it mellows out and tastes like the sweat off Adriana Lima’s elbow. This is very good.
 
Roy
Roy,
A bias review; following a day 'on it', we returned home in the small hours for tea and a 'night cap'. The French Malt came out and we both agreed that this was a decent bottle, reminiscent of some brandy, dank, easy, pleased I bought it.
 
Joshua
Joshua,
This was middle of the road for me, neither good nor bad. Noticed some hints of oak and apricot but that was about it.
 
Deja
Deja,
Very interesting and unique tasting.

Jamie
Jamie,
Good, but lacks distinction.
 
Maggie
Maggie,
So smooth. Was so surprised by this one
 
Craig
Craig,
I was pleasantly surprised by this "pure malt" whisky I've never heard of before. Maybe I should try more pure malt?
 
Matt
Matt,
The flavor spiral is definitely accurate on this one. A lot of chocolate flavor up front and in the after taste. It’s a unique flavor, but not something I’d want all the time.
 
Haley
Haley,
Smell is sublime... taste is not bad but not amazing either.
