Alfred Giraud Intrigue, 51.7%

Price: 463 Issue: Summer 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: French Whisky


Small batch experimental whisky with an invigorating nose of apple, Seckel pear, vanilla, primrose, lemon zest, spring blossoms, and fresh linen. It's a sweet and vinous affair, with lemon curd, lime marmalade, vanilla sugar, grapefruit, pear, cognac notes, and black pepper, with creamed coconut rounding out a sweet, mouth-saturating finish of lemon and vanilla that persists for an eternity. (150 bottles for the U.S.)
