Ninkasi Craft Single Malt Whiskey from France

Ninkasi is the Sumerian name for the goddess of beer. There could not have been a more appropriate name for the French craft beer brewery from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region around Lyon. In 2015, the manufactory transferred its accumulated knowledge about barley malt to the Ninkasi Whiskey Experience - single malts, which are usually produced in small batch series ("tracks") and mature in (wine) barrels in the fertile region .

Cognac and then white wine barrels (Feuillat Juyot and Burrier Château de Beauregard wineries) formed the quiet zone for Ninkasi Whiskey Experience Track 4 . After three to three and a half years, the French distillers and brewers bottled a lovely, warming single malt that entices with notes of caramel, grape must and aromas of lily of the valley and linden blossom .

Ninkasi Whiskey Experience Pinot Noir Finish was initially matured in former white wine barrels (Burrier Château de Beauregard winery) for three and a half years and then received a finish in white oak barrels pre-filled with Pinot Rouge. The result: A well-rounded single malt with notes of caramel, preserved grape must and pecan nuts. Both craft whiskeys are based on Pilsener brewing malt .
