Eddu Dan Ar Braz 10 Years Old 70cl 47°
This new limited edition Eddu of the Distillerie des Menhirs has been created with the help of Dan Ar Braz, famous artist of the Breton culture. Produced in 580 bottles numbered and signed by Dan Ar Braz, this new whisky succeeds to the edition of Patrick Mahé. This third edition of the Eddu collection is delivered in a black case.
Eddu Dan Ar Braz is a 10 years old whisky grading at 47 ° which was selected from 5 samples by the artist. His choice was focused on this warm whisky with sweet and spicy notes.
The Distillerie des Menhirs turned to Dan Ar Braz, a man who shares the same values as its team around the Breton culture and the valorisation of the know-how of the "terroir". During the presentation of this new expression, Dan Ar Braz said "we are not so different, you are craftsmen / distillers and I am a craftsman of music ...".
"Hep ijin, nep krouadur" is a phrase in Breton meaning "without imagination, there is no creation".
