A French single malt from a cognac house? That’s right: Arlett Whisky is a range of whiskies developed by the Tessendier family, who, in addition to the renowned cognac brand Cognac Park, are also behind Saison Rum.

Thanks to their decades of expertise in brandy production, the Tessendier distillery has created three single malts which, despite their young age, impress with a surprisingly smooth texture and a range of flavours that is astonishingly complex for young whiskies. The distinctive smoothness on the palate is achieved through gradual dilution to drinking strength, a process that begins during maturation and gives Arlett products their unique mouthfeel.

This blended whisky, which matures for more than three years in small American oak casks, develops a particularly well-balanced aroma as a result of this long ageing process. The smaller cask size allows for a more intense interaction between the whisky and the wood, which contributes to the development of a harmonious and well-rounded flavour profile.
