Whiskey BLEND | Peated | Collection No. 4

“Blend of eaux-de-vie, blend of know-how, blend of passion”

HISTORY

Whiskey ASSEMBLAGE is the fruit of the collaboration between Aymeric, oenologist, father of French whiskies A. Roborel de Climens , Cedrik and Axel Nadé founders of the Mounicq House specializing in the production of spirits made from grapes. The people of Bordeaux have combined their expertise to create a selection of whiskies imbued with their shared passion: the vine .

DESIGN

For this edition, the two brothers, inspired by their winemaking roots, selected and blended two barrels of Alsatian whiskies. A whiskey matured in a former Merlot barrel from Clos Manou and a peated whiskey at 40 ppm.
This new alliance gives birth to Whisky ASSEMBLAGE Collection n°4.

AROMATIC PROFILE

On the nose, Whisky Collection No. 4 reveals a vanilla roundness, followed by woody and smoky notes, creating a perfect balance between indulgence and peat. On the palate, the tasting unfolds in two distinct phases. First, a generous sweetness manifests itself with gourmet and candied notes, the result of 42 months of maturation in Médoc barrels. Then, toasted and lightly smoky flavors bring a harmonious intensity. The finish is long, marked by vinous and toasted touches, offering a tasting that is both complex and indulgent.

TASTING ADVICE

Enjoy neat, at room temperature, to fully appreciate its aromas. You can also add a few drops of pure water to soften and further open up its flavors.

As an aperitif, Whisky Collection No. 4 pairs perfectly with charcuterie. For the end of a meal, pair it with cheese and figs. If you prefer something sweet, a chocolate dessert will balance the whisky's peaty side, provided it isn't too bitter. Finally, for more originality, its powerful, but measured, peat is combined perfectly with foie gras.
