Maison Benjamin Kuentz Végétal Musette Single Malt, 45%

Price: 110 Issue: Fall 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: French Whisky


This line of quaffable contemporary whiskies is sourced from across the country, and this expression uses cognac cask-finished whisky from Charentes in western France. Cool white fruit, summer meadow, freshly mowed lawn, lemon zest, fruit-flavored water, and white pepper aromas. The palate is juicy with lemon, creamy vanilla, malt, fudge, and honeycomb, then tangy clementine, cracked black peppercorn, candied orange, and toffee. This is high-quality, refined, and rather irresistible. 700 ml
