Product details

Distillerie Tessendier, founded in 1880, is a celebrated Cognac producer. Today it’s run by brothers Jérôme & Lilian Tessendier (master blender & cellar master respectively), who’ve also been distilling whisky since 2019 in tribute to their whisky-loving mother. Given Cognac has to be distilled between around Nov and the end of Mar, it’s a great use of the stills in between! Made with traceable two-row spring barley from northern France, mashing and fermentation take place in Jarnac, before distillation in the family’s traditional Charentais copper stills (worth googling if you can’t picture these - quite different to normal whisky stills), and maturation in classic Cognac cellars close to the banks of the Charente river.

‘Original’ is their flagship malt, aged for over 3 years in new American oak and bourbon barrels. They encourage you to try it with ice, ginger ale, or in cocktails.
