When Warenghem entered the French whisky
business in 1983, it did so humbly, taking
advantage of the experience the Scots have
patiently accumulated over the past two centuries.
It was inspired by the methods used across the
Channel: the distillery is equipped with 2 pot stills
and works mainly on types of casks that had
already proven their relevance for the ageing of
whisky in Scotland.
At the beginning of the 2000s, however, it
diversified by working with Breton oak essences
and local casks, as shown by the excellent
chouchen cask previously selected for Version
Française in Europe.
This time, the selected cask is a classic whisky
ageing vessel: a second-fill Oloroso sherry cask,
which hosted an intensely smoky distillate (45
ppm), made from malt that was dried over a fire
fueled by Scottish peat.
