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.
