Whisky Breton Eddu - Burgundy-Côte de Beaune cask - Travel Journal

Whisky EDDU – “Travel Diaries”

Stopover No. 1: Côtes de Beaune – Finished in Corton Grand Cru “Les Maréchaudes” barrels

Every great house has its secrets, every spirit has its roots. With its unique Travel Journals collection, the Distillerie des Menhirs opens a new chapter in its history: one of exploration, of dialogue between exceptional terroirs, and of the encounter between two living heritages.

The first stop takes us to Burgundy, to the noble lands of the Côtes de Beaune , and more precisely to a legendary hillside: the Maréchaudes climate , cradle of one of the greatest red wines of the region. It is here that Maison Capitain-Gagnerot , founded in 1802, patiently develops its wines, according to a wine-growing tradition that respects the soil, the weather and the vine.

Sharing this same artisanal philosophy, the Distillerie des Menhirs chose these unique casks—steeped in years of vinification of a Corton Grand Cru —to rest its buckwheat whisky, EDDU. A bold, patient, and meticulous finish, like a sensory correspondence between Brittany and Burgundy.

As the months go by, the wood opens up, the wine gives up its memories, and the whisky transforms. It absorbs the soul of the vineyard, its silky tannins, its aromas of deep red fruits, its notes of undergrowth and noble spices. The alchemy operates – subtle, elegant – revealing a cuvée of rare complexity , where the Breton material is adorned with the colors of the Côte d'Or.

A travel whisky, but rooted.
A terroir whisky, but adventurous.
A first stopover full of promise.
