The ARLETT Finition Fût de Pineau des Charentes single malt whisky is a French single malt bottling full of character from Distillerie Tessendier, which is known for its precise barrel work and modern interpretation of the traditional art of distillation. This French single malt whisky initially matured for three years in classic oak casks before being given a finish of several months in former Pineau-des-Charentes casks. This regional choice of casks from the Cognac region gives the bottling a unique stylistic character within the French whisky segment.


The focus of this bottling is clearly on the combination of distillate and cask, with the finish being used specifically to add structure and depth without masking the character of the single malt. Bottled at 48% vol., non-chill-filtered and presented in a gift box, this whisky is aimed at connoisseurs who appreciate exceptional cask maturation and alternative whisky origins. The Arlett Finition Fût de Pineau des Charentes exemplifies the growing importance of French single malts and shows how regional wine cask culture can be meaningfully integrated into whisky maturation.
