French Whisky is Coming! A Spirited Adventure into the Next Big Thing in Spirits with Annie Beebe-Tron
Manage episode 382659932 series 3519564
Talented and NPR-voiced De Maison Spirits/NoLo manager, Annie Beebe-Tron, decodes the future of French whisky in the US by drawing a circle around the next important narrative in the landscape of artisan spirits by highlighting one of the great up-and-coming French Whisky Distilleries on the scene: T.O.S. Distillery in the Hauts-de-France - a young venture already making waves within the sea of the whisky world.
Quietly, French whiskey has experienced a remarkable transformation over the last two decades, with over 100 distilleries now dotting the French landscape.
On this episode, Annie walks us through a primer on French Whisky and the protected areas, and highlights T.O.S. 'Artesia' Pure Malt Whisky, a single malt, single distilled whiskey matured in ex-bourbon casks with a whisper of French oak.
The Genièvre 'Boutefeu', a traditional, un-aged, grain-based spirit from the area aromatized with juniper berries.
And finally, one of the rare Eau-de-Vie de Bière in the US, the T.O.S. 'Humulus'.
Seeped in the aroma of local terroir and slow fermentation, these handcrafted spirits bear testimony to T.O.S.'s respect for tradition, innovation and craft.
