Tasting Notes

The Tessendier family has been excelling with seriousness and passion in the art of distillation for generations. The latest project brewing in their copper pipes is this vintage-styled whisky brand that pays tribute to the 50s and to the mother of Jerome and Lilian. Appearance: Straw-coloured with a subtle golden hue, indicative of its maturation in American oak and bourbon casks. Nose: Initial aromas present a blend of citrus fruits and herbal notes, accompanied by a gentle hint of alcohol. As it develops, nuances of honey, cocoa, and resinous undertones emerge, adding depth and complexity. Palate: The whisky offers a clean and direct entry, revealing flavours of orchard fruits such as apples and pears, complemented by hints of oranges and candied fruits. This fruity profile is enriched by notes of honey, cocoa, and a touch of blond tobacco, contributing to a velvety mouthfeel. Finish: The finish is characterised by a delicate bitterness, with lingering notes of cocoa, coffee, and subtle wood spices, leaving a satisfying and balanced aftertaste. Overall: Arlett Single Malt Original Whisky showcases the craftsmanship of Distillerie Tessendier, delivering a harmonious balance of fruity, sweet, and woody elements. Its structured aromatic profile and smooth texture make it suitable for both sipping neat and as a versatile base for refined cocktails.

Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Arlett Single Malt Original is produced at Distillerie Tessendier & Fils in Cognac, France, using 100% French malted barley. The distillery brews, distils, and matures all production on-site — applying the same traditional copper still techniques refined over more than a century of cognac making. The Single Malt Original is aged for a minimum of three years in a combination of new American oak barrels and ex-bourbon casks, developing a structured aromatic profile of fruit, honey, cocoa, and resinous notes. Bottled at 45% ABV. The expression has won multiple international awards, including recognition at the Amazon UK Spirits Awards.

Provenance

Arlett is produced by Distillerie Tessendier & Fils, located at 94 Rue Robert Daugas in Cognac, France — a region world-famous for its centuries-long spirit production heritage and chalky limestone soils. The Tessendier family's distilling history began in 1880 with Gaston Tessendier, and today Jérôme and Lilian Tessendier carry forward the family's craft. Arlett is a passion project born from the brothers' desire to create meaningful new spirits beyond cognac, using the full range of their distillation expertise. Named as a tribute to the brothers' mother, Arlett represents a new chapter in French whisky production from one of the country's most historic distilling families.

About this Spirits

Cognac

Cognac is named after the town of Cognac in France and is a variety of brandy. It is produced in the wine-growing region surrounding the town from which it takes its name. Ugni Blanc, which is known locally as Saint-Emilion, is the one most commonly used grape to produce Cognac. The region is divided in to six zones, Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Bordeies, Fins Bois, Bon Bois and lastly Bois Ordinaire, not to be confused with Champagne, the premier sparkling wine region in north east France.

Strict guidelines must be followed for a distilled brandy to be legally labelled as a Cognac by the Appellation d’origine contrôlée. Only specific grapes are allowed to be used, of which Ugni Blanc is the most common. The brandy must be distilled twice in copper pot stills and aged for a minimum of 24 months in French oak barrels from Limousis or Tronçais.

Blending is very common in Cognacs, and the age is derived from the age of the youngest grapes used in the blend. Cognacs develop and age in a similar way to Scotch Whiskies, though most Cognacs can age much longer than the legal requirement due to the time spent in the French oak barrels.
