Celtique Connexion DM Highland Monbazillac

Country: France

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Celtic Whisky Cie

ABV: 46%

Score: 76 Points

This is a unique whisky, starting out at an undisclosed Highland distillery before it was purchased by Jean Donnay, who took it to France’s Brittany coast and transferrered it to a Monbazillac wine cask for final maturation. The nose is warm and buttery with notes of raisins, plums, and a hint of figs. The taste is spicy and tart with a bit of lemon to go along with the cinnamon spice. The finish is tart and lingering.
