WHISKY EDDU GOLD - Aged for 10 years in French oak from the Limousin region, Eddu Gold is the epitome of a pure buckwheat whisky. With its great concentration of flavour and aroma, Eddu Gold can be compared with whiskies with 15 to 18 years of age.
To extend the pleasure of your tasting experience, smell the empty glass a little while after drinking Eddu Gold. The esters in the bottom of the glass continue to express a large part of their aromatic potential, which is a sign of a great whisky

Every year, just five or six barrels are selected, bottled and sold as Eddu Gold.

    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.
