French get a taste for whisky as production increases

the French market is rather promising. In France, more than 200,000 bottles of whisky are consumed each year.

Regarding production the amount of distilleries has exploded, from only five in the early 2000s to almost 60 today.

But the key to whiskey’s taste is how it ages, in barrels. And in this area, French producers use a very French tradition that they use in wine.

This results in whiskeys with special tastes, potentially as varied as the host of French regional wines themselves. This could bring legitimacy to whiskey “made in France”.
