Rozelieures Peated Collection Single Malt French Whisky

Rozelieures Peated Collection Single Malt French Whisky is France's answer to the peated malt tradition — a 92-proof (46% ABV) single malt in a 750mL bottle from the family-owned Grallet Dupic distillery in Lorraine. Made from the farm's own organic barley and double-distilled in Charentais stills, the lightly peated spirit rests in ex-bourbon casks before a finish in new French oak from Lorraine. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

A French Farm's Peated Single Malt

Since 2002, the Grallet Dupic family has made whisky the farm-to-bottle way on their Lorraine estate — growing their own organic barley, malting nearby, and distilling slowly in Charentais stills more often associated with Cognac. The Peated Collection applies that French terroir approach to smoky whisky: peat cut from French soil, a long ex-bourbon maturation, and a finishing spell in new oak from Lorraine's own forests. The result is peat with a French accent — smoke wrapped in floral, fruity elegance. Explore more smoky single malts or browse everything from Rozelieures at Del Mesa.

Tasting Notes

Smoke and peat open with hints of vanilla, caramel, and dried fruit; a light floral, spicy note balances the nose. The palate is smooth and silky — prominent peat with honey, toasted wood, and vanilla — leading to a long, lingering finish of peat, wood, and spice.

How to Enjoy

Neat in a tulip glass, or with a few drops of water to separate the peat from the fruit — a whisky that rewards slow exploration rather than a rush to the finish.
