Tasting Notes

Crafted by the masterful blenders at Alfred Giraud, the Heritage expression is a true testament to the art of whisky-making. This French malt whisky is a harmonious blend of three malts, each aged in a different cask – new French Limousin oak, American oak, and casks previously used for XO Cognac. The result is a captivating bouquet that tantalizes the senses. On the nose, you'll detect the alluring aromas of vanilla orchid, fresh oak, and hints of white grape. The palate is a delightful dance of flavors, with fresh pear, brandied cherry, and candied fruit taking center stage, accompanied by a subtle hint of oak spice. The finish is a delightful dusting of icing sugar, complemented by the lingering notes of pear drops and toasty oak. Presented at a robust 45.9% ABV in a handsome 1920s-inspired decanter, the Alfred Giraud Heritage is a true masterpiece, embodying the rich heritage and craftsmanship of French whisky-making.
