Introduction

A Unique Flavour Profile

Crafted in an artisanal distillery, Coperies Les Ocres French Whisky is renowned for its unique flavour profile. Achieved through the careful selection of barley, the use of pure spring water, and aging in carefully selected casks, these factors contribute to the development of a rich, complex whisky with a subtle balance between sweetness and spiciness, reflected in every sip.

The Art of Aging and Blending

The aging process plays a crucial role in defining the character of Coperies Les Ocres French Whisky. By aging in a mix of old and new French oak casks, this whisky acquires its distinctive aromas and flavours. 

Their Les Ocres differs from the original whisky in that it is matured in different types of barrels. After the usual aging in French Oak Barrels, its malt distillates are finished separately in different French fortified wine barrels (Pineau des Charentes and Maury) then blended. This ensures the characteristic roundness of Coperies which comes from its double distillation in pot stills is kept, but has the added exquisite notes of candied fruit due to the maturation.

The ageing overall takes between 4 and 5 years.
