Production notes
The sea breeze blows on this whisky, giving it a salinity borrowed from the for an adventure twenty thousand leagues under the Breton sea. Reservation of a bottle of the 2024 vintage, planned for December 2024, if the hazards of the tides permit. The encounter : The origin of this whisky from the west of France comes from a meeting between the French whisky editor, Benjamin Kuentz, and a team with some crazy ideas: to make to age wines and champagne under the sea off Ushant, in a concession granted by the coastline. They offered me to try it with whisky. The Project: The result is “completely separate”, “very very beautiful” and “majestic” for the few lucky ones who have already been able to taste the first tears coming out of the water. Of course, we are continuing the experiment and want to share it with you. So I have lowered my first barrels and bottles under water 3 years ago. Uisce de Profundis, the first whisky matured under the sea, is a French whisky of experimental temperament, returned from the depths of the sea where he took the time to age and become salinity-laden. An exceptional whisky, Uisce de Profundis can be served at a generous table, making the seafood, for special occasions; or, more simply, in order to celebrate, among friends, the love of the deep blue sea, adventure novels and the spirit of tenacity of a good sailor.
