Brenne is the world’s first single malt aged exclusively in both new French Limousin Oak barrels and Cognac casks.

Brenne is crafted at a third-generation farm distillery located in Cognac, France, which has been producing eau de vie since the 1920

Our whiskies begin in the fields of Cognac, with its famous mineral-rich soils and mild microclimate. Every ingredient is sourced locally, 100 percent organic, and non-GMO.Brenne is fully certified Organic by both EU and USDA standards.

Two types of heirloom barley grown on the estate are the starting point for Brenne. After malting, a proprietary strain of yeast that has been in the distiller's family for generations is added for fermentation, creating a beautifully floral mash.

This is then twice-distilled in an alembic Charente still, creating a fruit-forward new-make spirit that pairs perfectly with the floral notes of the starting mash — quite a departure from new-make created on pot stills, the classic choice for traditional single malts.

The liquid is then rested in our signature barrels, new French Limousin oak and Cognac casks, before being proofed with water from the Charente river for bottling. The result is Brenne: proudly the first single malt in the world to be aged exclusively in these two barrels.

This combination, along with our other techniques, gives the enjoyer a true sense of French terroir in the taste and smell of the whisky, and has created a profile rich in fruit-forward, floral, and creamy notes that is exceptionally smooth and sets us apart from every other whisky.

 

Brenne Estate Cask

The first single malt in the word aged exclusively in French Limousin Oak and Cognac casks, Brenne Estate Cask is twice-distilled in a copper alembic still, and aged for a minimum of six years. The whisky has perfumed fruit and French patisserie aromas with creamy and complex sugar notes of rich creme brûlée and burnt caramel. On the palate: notes of banana, tropical fruits, and warm spices like cinnamon and clove

Brenne Ten

Brenne Ten is an annual release marrying about four different hand-selected barrels. The spirit is fermented and distilled in alembic Charente stills and aged for a decade in a combination of new French Limousin oak and Cognac casks. Brenne Ten shares the Estate Cask’s DNA, but with a deeper, striking richness. On the palate, this whisky features our signature creamy fruit-forward taste, but with notes of dried fruits, chili, black pepper, spices, and dark chocolate.
