Little French Pete celebrates the best elements of American and French oak whisky maturation with a generous dose of Australian goldfield spirit. Inspired by the success of our Double Wood, we decided to try a special peated edition - but this time reversing the process. We initially matured the spirit in virgin French Oak barrels for two years, before transferring to heavily charred American Oak barrels for the next decade. The result is an amazingly complex yet delicately matured peated whisky. Extremely limited and undoubtedly ‘magnifique’.
Reviews of Little French Pete
Some exceptional Scottish and Japanese malts come to mind when tasting the Little French Pete. From a flavour perspective, it’s new territory for Australian whisky – I doubt I’ve tasted a lightly peated Australian malt with this level of elegance and maturity.
Luke McCarthy – Oz Whisky Review
Love the balance of fruits and gentle spices. Long finish. Truly one of the best Aussie whiskies!
