Alfred Giraud Heritage French Malt Whisky. Image courtesy Alfred Giraud/Craft SpiritsThis French blended malt has a complex and aromatic nose with notes of sandalwood, marzipan, pears, red grapes, and a touch of milk chocolate. The taste has a good balance of fruit, spices, and a touch of sandalwood with hints of pears, peaches and almonds along with a nice maltiness. The finish is long and subtle with a sweet and fruity character. Very nice! (December, 2020)
