Ed Gwenn 70cl 45°
Ed Gwenn is the new release of the Distillerie des Menhirs. Made from 100% Breton barley and a very typical Breton name meaning "white cereal", this new expression matches the famous Eddu whisky, distilled from buckwheat.
Distilled in a column still at high temperatures, and aged for four years in old oak casks, unchill-filtered and bottled at 45°, this Single Grain develops luxury notes of exotic fruits.
From banane flambee flavours to candied fruits, mango, pear or pinneaple, this whisky offers a wide array of rich fruit notes. A beautiful discovery with sweet, exotic flavours.
100% Breton barley.

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…
