About this tour
Spend two and a half hours at a working distillery in France's Grand-Est region learning how single malt whiskey comes together. You'll tour the production floors and barrel stores, discovering what happens at each stage from grain to glass. The real payoff: you'll blend your own bottle, mixing different casks to create something uniquely yours to take home.
Highlights
- Tour active distillery floors and aging cellars
- Learn blending techniques from experienced producers
- Create and bottle your own single malt blend
- Take home 20cl of your custom whiskey
- Understand production from grain to maturation
What to expect
You'll start with a walk through the working distillery, seeing where the spirit is produced and stored. The guide explains each phase—fermentation, distillation, maturation—as you move between areas. Then comes the hands-on part: you'll sample different cask expressions and experiment with blending ratios until you find your preferred profile. Once you've settled on your mix, it gets bottled and labelled for you to carry away. Expect about two hours of exploration and tasting, with the final thirty minutes devoted to your own blending session.
Good to know
The site is fully wheelchair accessible throughout. Prams and strollers are welcome. Service animals permitted. Pregnant travellers should note this experience isn't recommended due to alcohol exposure during tasting and blending.
