Distillery : Distillerie des Menhirs / Country : France / Reference: : 26162

EDDU Dorn Ha Dorn is a Breton whisky produced by the Menhirs distillery in Brittany.

Eddu is made from buckwheat and has a rich, authentic profile.

‘Dorn Ha Dorn’, meaning “hand in hand” in Breton, pays tribute to this creative and enchanting interlude in the distillery's history.

It embodies the spirit of mutual support and friendship between the Le Lay family from Brittany and Léauté from Charente.

A partnership that unites two regional and family skills: the distillation of Breton buckwheat, a speciality of the Distillerie des Menhirs, and the Charentais expertise of the Léauté family in the art of distilling and ageing eaux-de-vie.

This link has led to the creation of ‘Dorn ha Dorn’, a Breton whisky aged in cognac and red Pineau des Charentes casks, symbolising this alliance.

EDDU Dorn Ha Dorn is the perfect accompaniment to dried fruit desserts, mature cheeses and lightly spiced dishes. This whisky offers a unique taste experience, perfect for lovers of original spirits and Breton flavours.

Located in Brittany (near Quimper), the Distillerie des Menhirs of Plomelin stands out for its originality. Indeed, it transforms black wheat and apples to cider, both emblematic productions of Brittany, into a range of whiskeys, spirits and high-quality cider.


Guillaume, the son of Francès, became a known figure as local distiller in the public workshop of Pont-Menhir, Plomelin. So as for his son René. Francès, Guillaume, René.. Guy almost broke the family legacy training as a maths teacher. But the distillation gene took over and Guy came back on the track laid down by his ancestors. In 1986, Guy and his wife planted orchards and built in Pont Menhir their own distillery, hoping to manufacture a new spirit, unheard of in Brittany: The Pommeau des Menhirs, which would become the first Pommeau in Brittany to bear an Appelation of Controlled Origin.


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. The expert advice of a Spirit Master will lead him to success and guarantee the exceptional quality of the whisky to come…
