True to the very essence of the range, Bellevoye Bleu is produced entirely in France.
This unpeated triple malt is a blend of 3 whiskies made entirely from 100% French malted barley.
Each whisky comes from a French distillery in a different region, and has been distilled in a specific type of still. The whisky is aged in its original distillery for 3 to 8 years before heading for the Charente region and the cellars of bottler "Les Bienheureux".
After blending the three whiskies that make up Bellevoye Bleu, it is aged for 1 year in a new oak cask with a fine, tight grain, first heated with a blowtorch.
Florian's tasting notes
To the nose, it's a dessert, or breakfast in the garden. Surprised by the honey, real flower honey, light and sweet. Very airy. This is a whisky of finesse, everything is fine, the woodiness is soft. A hint of spice emerges in the background: pepper, accompanied by a hint of vanilla.
Soft texture on the palate. Delicately fruity, with honey and white fruit, pear and caramel. A little woody detour and tender spiciness. Very well balanced.
The finish is of decent length, on flowers and vanilla.
"Pleasantly surprised! Very accessible, that's the word. This made-in-France whisky is smooth, fruity and finely spiced. At this price, to enter the world of French whiskies, it's ideal."
