Produced by the Warenghem distillery in Brittany, Roof Rye is a rye whisky made in France.
Distilled in Brittany, it is first aged on site for several years in sherry casks.
It is then shipped to Provence for a further 2 years of maturation in American oak casks. During these last two years, the casks are stored in small warehouses with tin roofs (hence the term "roof"), where the whisky undergoes a wide temperature range, not only throughout the year, but also on any given day. This last stage enables the rye whisky to acquire rich, intense aromas.
Pauline's tasting notes
A lovely classic in the world of Bourbons.
The nose opens with dried vanilla. A hint of coconut fades, giving way to spices.
On the palate, the attack is frank. Spices predominate, peppery notes appear, then a slight dip in the mid-palate lets the vanilla aromas resurface for a woody finish.
