Frequently asked questions about whisky

What is the difference between a single malt and a blend?

A single malt is made only from malted barley, in a single distillery. A blend combines whiskies from several distilleries, often malt and grain whiskies, for a balanced style, as with Hibiki in Japan.

How do you know whether a whisky is peated?

Peat, used to dry the barley, gives smoky notes. Islay whiskies such as Ardbeg and Lagavulin are distinctly peated, Highland Park lightly so, while The Macallan and The Dalmore are unpeated and built on dried fruit and oak.

Do you ship whisky outside France?

Yes, we ship our whiskies from France to Europe and many other countries, with tracking.

Does whisky age in the bottle?

No. Whisky develops only in cask. Once bottled, it stays stable for decades if the bottle is kept upright and away from light. A 12 year old bought twenty years ago is still a 12 year old.

Should a whisky bottle be stored upright or lying down?

Always upright. The high alcohol content attacks the cork if it stays in permanent contact with the spirit, which causes leaks and cork taint. It is the exact opposite of wine.
