Distillery/Bottler: The Celtic Whisky Distillery was founded in 1997 on the Breton peninsula of Pleubian and is considered a pioneer of French whisky. The small distillery combines traditional Celtic production methods with the special maritime environment, which is clearly reflected in the characterful distillates. The use of direct-fired pot stills and aging in American bourbon barrels sustainably shapes the style of the products.
