Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Arlett Single Malt Pineau des Charentes Finish is produced at Distillerie Tessendier & Fils in Cognac using 100% French malted barley, brewed, distilled, and matured on-site. Following initial maturation in American oak and ex-bourbon barrels, the spirit receives a secondary finishing period in Pineau des Charentes casks — Pineau being the regional vin de liqueur of Charente, produced by blending unfermented grape must with Cognac eau-de-vie. This finish imparts distinctive dried vine fruit, honey, and grapey richness that interweaves with the cereal-forward base character. Bottled at 48% ABV.

Provenance

Arlett is produced by Distillerie Tessendier & Fils, located at 94 Rue Robert Daugas in Cognac, France — a region internationally renowned for centuries of spirit production heritage. The Tessendier family's distilling history began in 1880 with Gaston Tessendier, and today Jérôme and Lilian Tessendier lead the house. Arlett was conceived as a passion project by the brothers, bringing their generations of cognac expertise to French whisky production. Named as a tribute to the brothers' mother, the Arlett range is produced entirely on-site — from brewing 100% French malted barley through to distillation, ageing, and bottling — in the heart of the Charente.

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.
