    DISTILLERIE DES MENHIRS

    The LE LAY family has been distilling for 5 generations and is now run by the 3 LE LAY brothers, Erwan, Kevin and Loig.
    Since 1999, the distillery has been using 100 % locally sourced buckwheat for its EDDU whisky selection (“eddu” means buckwheat in the Breton language).
    The Distillery des Menhirs is located in the Celtic region of Brittany, in the west of France.  The famous « menhirs »: the ancient granite stones standing in front of the distillery, witness to our strong Celtic roots.
    Buckwheat is an emblematic cereal in Brittany and was chosen by the Distillerie des Menhirs for its unique and distinctive aromas.
    EDDU has unique character. It is a well-balanced, very fruity and floral whisky. The different EDDU releases are created by the cellar master who contributes his precision, experience and intuition.
