WHISKIES

The singularity of our whiskies is increasingly sought after, including by Asian clients.

Created two years ago, the whisky division comprises five single malts that share the same values of provenance and excellence: Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte, Octomore (the three brands of the Progressive Hebridean Distillers on the Isle of Islay, Scotland), as well as Domaine des Hautes Glaces, a farm distillery in the French Alps, and Westland, a distillery in Seattle, in the United States.

Overall, this division recorded another year of double-digit growth, driven by the success of the new Port Charlotte bottle and the prestigious limited series of Octomore, the world's most heavily peated single malt. The former reaped the rewards of a bold viral campaign, “We Are Islay”, while the latter is benefiting from the development of its private online sales policy aimed at well-informed connoisseurs.

Although our Scottish whiskies are thriving in their traditional markets (Americas, United Kingdom, France, etc.), they have also made important inroads in Asia and the northern countries.

The young Westland distillery, which combines critical and commercial success, continues to grow in the United States and is preparing to export some of its production.

Lastly, Domaine des Haute Glaces is taking the time to prepare for the future by building up stocks.
