French Whiskey ARLETT Single Malt finished in MIZUNARA Oak Barrel 70 cl

Description

Arlett Mizunara 70 cl – A Japanese finish for a single malt with character

With Arlett Single Malt Mizunara, the Tessendier Distillery offers a French take on whisky that focuses on the precision of the maturation process and the originality of the finishing. Initial ageing in new American oak and bourbon casks develops the distillate’s structure, whilst finishing in Japanese Mizunara oak lends the whisky its distinctive character.

Its aromatic profile centres on pepper and cardamom. These spices are evident on the palate, accompanied by a freshness that lends dynamism and prevents any heaviness. The finish, which is beautifully long, prolongs the tasting experience and highlights the character of this single malt, bottled at 48% ABV.

Mizunara is particularly prized in the world of spirits for its distinctive character and its use in sought-after finishing processes. In this cuvée, it is introduced after three years of ageing, resulting in a total maturation period of four years. This combination of maturation techniques makes Arlett an intriguing choice for whisky enthusiasts who enjoy exploring the influences of different woods.

Presented in a 70 cl bottle, this whisky is best enjoyed neat in a suitable glass, to allow the spicy notes to come through. A few drops of water may slightly alter the aromatic profile, whilst serving it over ice will suit those seeking a fresher tasting experience. It can also be used in cocktails, where its spicy character adds a distinctive touch.
