Arlett Blended is a 100% French whisky from Distillerie Tessendier in Jarnac, Charente — the heart of Cognac country. Aged three years in a combination of 50% new American oak and 50% bourbon barrels, it then receives a one-year finish in Japanese Mizunara oak casks. The Mizunara finishing is a Tessendier signature — a Franco-Japanese bridge unique in French whisky.
The Cognac country provenance gives Tessendier deep distilling expertise — the family has been distilling since 1880 — and this experience shows in the clean, refined spirit. The Mizunara finish adds the distinctive sandalwood and incense character that Japanese oak is famous for, creating a whisky that bridges European and Asian traditions.
Arlett Blended is a well-priced, genuinely interesting French whisky. The Tessendier heritage, the Mizunara finishing and the fair price create a whisky that offers genuine character and an unusual East-meets-West identity. Cognac country, making whisky with a Japanese accent.
