With 70 years of family expertise in the production of fruit brandies, Sébastien and Céline CASTAN started making whisky in 2010. They only use barley from the distillery and limit themselves to local wine barrels. It is the search for authenticity that leads them to keep their mobile still which, in the past, travelled the region to distil fruit. Made up of 4 copper vessels and a small Stupfler rectification column, this still produces a light and elegant distillate in one pass, which is 80% VOL. The distillate is then reduced before being put into casks, which results in a 5% share of angels.

Floral and fruity, Castan 2017 is not a peated whisky like the others. Its unique distillation system produces a very light distillate with little phenol content. The result is a mellow, resinous peat that accompanies aromas of rare elegance and freshness.
