We savour (and rate) four of France’s best whiskies. But which one prevailed?
OUR VERDICT
J. MICHARD WHISKY
The live yeast added prior to distillation lends this single malt from Limousin a surprisingly hoppy tang. €69,90
MINIMUS ORGANIC DOMAINE DES HAUTES GLACES
This Alpine single malt is a subtly earthy tipple. The organic credentials are just the cherry on top. Approx. €60
ELSASS ORIGINE DISTILLERIE LEHMANN
Smooth with hints of vanilla, this Alsatian number is sure to convert even the most reticent of ‘whisky-phobes’. €40
EDDU SILVER DISTILLERIE DES MENHIRS
Moreish and delightfully floral, this velvety buckwheat whisky from Brittany is just the thing to warm those cockles. €41
