The Tessendier family has been excelling – with seriousness and passion – in the art of distillation for generations. The latest project brewing in their copper pipes is this vintage-styled whisky brand that pays tribute to the 50s and to the mother of Jérôme and Lilian.
ARLETT, a well-made French whisky is the fruit of a fabulous journey. Grown from the bowels of the Earth. Fiercely heated with a specific, local, double-distillation method. Tirelessly refined by Jérôme and Lilian Tessendier – the two brothers who make sure every drop tastes just great.
ARLETT, is all about flavour exploration and tracing a specific path – from the precise choice of raw materials to flavour selection.
ARLETT, is born from a solid team effort whose aim is to create a real surprise in your palate and to see this surprizing sensation being shared between people, simply but with conviction.
The Arlett bottle is ornate with an original padded glass design giving it a unique look. Those padded ornaments are a heartfelt nod to the whole whisky universe. For those who are more interested in the technical side of distillation, they will recognize the vat padding which enables the wash fermentation – and its constant brewing – in the brewery. For the epicureans among us, they will read a direct reference to a leather club armchair, like a good old Chesterfield for instance. The type of armchair that is the perfect setting to relax and enjoy a glass of your favourite beverage.
In cocktails, with or without ice cubes, as an aperitif or in food pairing, this eau-de-vie will seduce amateurs who like to drink it pure at room temperature but who do not hesitate to use it as a base in the preparation of cocktails.
