We marry and mature 2 distinct distillates from our Saint-Palais distillery in Cognac and new French and American oak casks, creating the aromatic base.
In parallel, we age a select number of our Whiskies in high-quality casks, including old Cognac, Bordeaux Grand Cru Classé and Pineau des Charentes. The final marriage of all these malts matures in old Cognac casks. Altogether, a total of 14 different types of casks infuse their unique qualities into this complex single malt, giving Horizon the characteristic elegance and balance of the Alfred Giraud style.
