Whisky Assemblage Collection No.4 is a peated French whisky born from a new collaboration between Aymeric Roborel de Climens and Maison Mounicq, creator of French grape-based spirits. Together, they present a whisky rooted in their shared passion: the vine.
Crafted according to the art of blending, inherited from winemaking, it brings together two Alsatian whiskies — one peated, the other aged for 42 months in a Merlot cask from Clos Manou (Médoc).

History
ASSEMBLAGE whisky is the result of the collaboration between Aymeric, oenologist, father of French whiskies A. Roborel de Climens , Cedrik and Axel Nadé founders of Maison Mounicq specialized in the production of spirits made from grapes. The Bordeaux residents have combined their know-how to create a selection of whiskies imbued with their shared passion: the vine .

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 a more original twist, its powerful yet measured peat pairs perfectly with foie gras.
