Eddu Nolwenn Korbell 70cl 46°
In 2002, the Distillerie des Menhirs, created the first buckwheat-based whisky. The distillery has since offered special vintages that have been chosen, tested and approved by lovers of Brittany and whisky.
For its 4th edition, it is the singer and actress Nolwenn Korbell, lover of peated whiskies, who participated in the creation of this completely new 10-year-old whisky.
Resulting from a double maturation, this Eddu whisky made from pure buckwheat results from a double maturation: it first aged 8 years in ex-cognac barrels and then matured for two years in barrels having contained peated whisky, to finally be bottled at 46 °.

Having mastered the art of distilling cider, Guy Le Lay, always seeking new products boasting the authentic Breton identity, develops the idea of distilling a new cereal: Breton buckwheat. In 1998, new premises are built and a new still purchased: the idea becomes real.
