The Heritage

Alfred Giraud whisky's history starts with Alfred, the great-grandfather of the current Girauds. He was a Cellar Master at a top Cognac house. His dedication to quality and blending expertise shaped the family's spirit-making legacy. This commitment to excellence continues in the distillery today.

The whiskies stand out in French spirit traditions. They avoid using peat, common in whisky-making. Instead, they let the grains and casks' natural flavours come through. Their whiskies celebrate French blending, each showing the house's delicate, harmonious style.

The Range

Their whiskies are a testament to careful selection and blending. Harmonie blends three non-peated French malts, aged in different casks. These include new French Limousin oak, American oak, and Cognac casks. This ageing process creates a finessed whisky with honey, citrus, and spice notes/.

Voyage, a limited edition, reflects Alfred Giraud’s push for innovation. It's a blending experiment and it uses new ageing methods and various casks. The result is a whisky that's traditional yet innovative.

Alfred Giraud focuses on ethical practices and sustainability. They source locally malted barley and use casks from sustainable forests. This ensures their spirit-making aligns with nature.

Alfred Giraud is more than a whisky distillery. It's a symbol of French spirit-making, blending tradition, innovation, and ethical production. Their whiskies represent their rich French heritage and a forward-looking approach. Each bottle invites you to explore French whisky's depth and complexity. This is thanks in no small part to the mix of generational expertise and a passion for blending.
