Alfred Giraud - Intrigue - Limited Edition - Bottled in 2022 - 51.7% ABV
Alfred Giraud Whisky is an iconic company located in the prestigious Cognac region, with its distillery nestled in Saint-Palais-de-Négrignac. The Giraud family, heirs to an ancestral cooperage expertise, began this journey in 1910 when Louis Giraud joined a Cognac house to produce eaux-de-vie with his son Alfred. During World War I, Alfred was captured by the Germans and forced to make barrels for a brewery in Berlin. Released in 1918, he resumed the family reins until his retirement, before his son André continued the tradition from 1954. A generation later, Philippe Giraud left the Cognac world to join the William Grant & Sons group in 1995, initiating a new era focused on whisky production. In 2009, leveraging his deep knowledge of whisky and the family's unique expertise in blending and aging, he created an exceptional high-end French whisky.
This exceptional whisky is made from rigorously selected malted barley, brewed and distilled in Saint-Palais-de-Négrignac. Intrigue is a rare and complex blend of two Single Malts aged in five carefully chosen types of casks: Cognac, Sauvignon Blanc, French oak, American oak, as well as a unique and precious cask whose secret is jealously guarded. This process imparts deep aromatic notes and unparalleled flavor richness to the whisky.
Discover at Clos des Spiritueux this masterpiece of French whisky, combining tradition, innovation, and excellence, perfect for discerning enthusiasts and passionate collectors.
