Produced from buckwheat (the famous "sarrasin" in French), Eddu whiskies are unique and stand out from other whiskies with their distinct taste. More rounded, less full-bodied, and lighter, each Eddu cuvée is marked by floral, fruity, spicy, and nutty notes. Distilled twice in Charentais stills, aged in barrels from Cognac and the Brocéliande forest, and slowly reduced over several years inside the barrels, these eaux-de-vie represent the marriage of French and Scottish techniques. They are both very original and faithful to ancient Breton traditions.
Distillerie des Menhirs is a unique Breton distillery with a strong character. Founded in 1998, it stands out from its peers with the production of whiskies made from buckwheat, a cereal deeply rooted in Breton culture. After being twice distilled in Charentais stills, Eddu whiskies are then aged in barrels from Cognac and the Brocéliande forest, representing the perfect marriage of French techniques and a strong Breton identity. In 2016, the distillery innovated and launched its first whisky made from 100% barley: Ed Gwenn.
