Le Breuil Whisky – Origin Range
Perhaps because in the past, the estate was home to a grain mill…
The French Spiritery, Château du Breuil – Normandy has decided to give birth to the Single Malts of Château du Breuil. Experts in the distillation and aging of spirits since 1954, the estate’s master distillers have relied on their know-how, their audacity and their sensitivity to imagine a unique Single Malt whiskey of high quality. With Le Breuil, Château du Breuil has succeeded in creating the first French Single Malt whiskey produced from 100% Golden Promise barley, a variety known to be at the origin of whiskeys with an intense malty character, long and silky in the mouth. An emblematic variety of the 1960s, Golden Promise is the barley used in the production of world-famous whiskies.
Whisky Le Breuil – Duo de malt Blended Malt
Composed of a Classic Blend Whiskey and a Peaty Blend Whiskey, the Belnded Malt range offers you an immersion in terms of sweetness in the mouth and aromatic complexity. The Malt Duo Whiskeys are the result of a long process of selections, tastings and iterations between Philippe Etignard, Cellar Master of La Spiriterie Française, Château du Breuil – Normandie and the Chais teams of the Maison Boinaud. A collaboration between two family businesses with the same approach to the manufacture of spirits, the same values and the same philosophy. Meticulous work to marry our Whisky Le Breuil Single Malt and Whisky Single Malt from Maison Boinaud to obtain adequate and complementary organoleptic characteristics. This new range promises a balance in perfect harmony between two Single Malt Whiskies.

The origin of Château du Breuil whiskies
Perhaps because in the past, the estate was home to a grain mill…
Château du Breuil decided to create the Château du Breuil Single Malts, a range of whiskies that are the result of exceptional blending skills and a true mastery of distillation.
Normandy, land of whisky
The mild, humid Normandy climate, with the sea not far off and the Touques river winding around the estate and its lake, lends itself perfectly to the ageing of these Single Malts.
The estate also boasts a number of cellars, some of which are over 150 years old, the perfect environment for ageing spirits.
Château du Breuil, barley hunter
With Whisky Le Breuil, Château du Breuil has succeeded in creating the first French single malt whisky produced entirely from Golden Promise barley, a variety known for producing whiskies with an intense malty character that are long and silky on the palate.
Golden Promise, the barley of world famous whiskies.
By selecting this variety for its first range, Château du Breuil has chosen quality over quantity. In fact, Golden Promise barley has the distinction of having a low yield per hectare (1/3 less than current varieties) and in terms of pure alcohol (10% less than current varieties).
It is a rare and high-quality barley that Château du Breuil has been careful to respect throughout the various stages of production, including a traditional malting to respect the grain and a low-intensity kilning to bring out and set off the taste of the grain.
L’origine des whiskies du Château du Breuil
Peut-être parce qu’autrefois, le Domaine abritait un moulin à céréales…
le Château du Breuil a décidé de donner naissance aux Single Malts du Château du Breuil, une gamme de whiskies fruit d’un savoir-faire d’exception en matière d’assemblage et une véritable maîtrise de la distillation.
La Normandie, terre de whisky
The mild and humid Normandy climate lends itself perfectly to the aging of these Single Malts. With the nearby sea, the Touques river which encircles the property and its lake.
The Estate also has all the characteristics of cellars, some of which are over 150 years old, for optimal ageing.
The Château du Breuil, barley hunter
With Le Breuil Whisky, Château du Breuil has succeeded in creating the first French single malt whiskey produced 100% from Golden Promise barley. A variety known to be at the origin of whiskeys with an intense malty character, long and silky in the mouth.
Golden Promise, the barley of world famous whiskeys
En sélectionnant cette variété pour sa première gamme, le Château du Breuil a privilégié la qualité à la quantité. En effet, l’orge Golden Promise a pour particularité d’avoir un faible rendement à l’hectare (1/3 inférieur aux variétés actuelles) et en alcool pur (10 % inférieur aux variétés actuelles).
Une orge rare et de grande qualité que le Château du Breuil a eu à cœur de respecter tout au long des différentes étapes de production comme le maltage traditionnel pour respecter le grain et le touraillage de faible intensité pour privilégier le goût de la céréale, entre autres.
A comment from our Cellar Master, Philippe Etignard
“I believe that the quality of whisky is primarily a reflection of the character of the barley. By choosing the Golden Promise variety, I want to bring you a whisky that has exceptional smoothness and silkiness on the palate.
Throughout the production process, through the many technical choices I have made, I have tried to preserve and enhance these characteristics.
