Description

FRENCH WHISKY : 100 % French, barley cultivated, malted, brewed, and distilled in France.

SINGLE MALT : 100 % distilled in our stills, in Charente-Maritime, in the South-West of France.

DISTILLATION : Double distillation in pot stills.

AGEING : Aged between 4 to 5 years, in French oak casks, mix of old and new casks.

With Les Ocres, the French Single Malt whisky Coperies ventures into the field of maturing in different types of barrels. After its usual ageing in French oak barrels, its malt distillates are finished separately in different French fortified wine barrels (Pineau des Charentes, Maury…), then blended.
For this first blend, two batches are refined separately during several months, on one side in red Pineau des Charentes casks, on the other side in Maury wine casks. These two batches are then blended to produce les Ocres.
Les Ocres have the characteristic roundness of Coperies from its double distillation in  Merlet Distillery & Sons pot stills, to which is added exquisite notes of candied fruit due to its maturation.

 TASTING NOTES :


Colour : Ochre with amber shades.


Nose : Powerful with notes of candied fruits associated with fine spicy (vanilla) and woody notes.


Mouth : The attack is frank with a beautiful roundness on plums and raisins notes. The finish reveals a vanilla taste with hints of woody notes. The length in mouth is persistent.
