Eddu Peated 70cl 43°
The new Eddu Peaty is a limited edition Breton whisky made from pure buckwheat.
This whisky underwent an initial ageing of three years in Limousin oak barrels, then was transferred for an additional two years to Scottish oak barrels previously used for ageing peated whiskies.
The taste experience is interesting, with classic notes of Eddu whisky in a new configuration, embellished with original peat flavour.

In 1998, new premises are built and a new still purchased: the idea becomes real. The expert advice of a Spirit Master will lead him to success and guarantee the exceptional quality of the whisky to come…
