Eddu Silver (43%)

Eddu Silver is a Breton whisky made at the Distillerie des Menhirs in Plomelin, Finistère. It is distilled entirely from buckwheat, also known as sarrasin, and is described as the first whisky in the world made from that grain. After double distillation it spends five years in French oak casks that previously held cognac. It is bottled at 43% ABV. The nose is intense and complex, with citrus, toasted hazelnut and floral touches of rose and heather. On the palate come apple, orange peel and candied apricot alongside cinnamon and nutmeg, with a creamy texture. The finish is fruity, balanced and fresh.
