Irresistibly indulgent! Whisky Aveux Gourmands by Benjamin Kuentz.
Whisky Aveux Gourmands – Benjamin Kuentz
Benjamin Kuentz is one of the most singular figures in contemporary French whisky. A whisky curator rather than a simple blender, he collaborates with different French distilleries to create cuvées with strong identities, conceived as aromatic compositions. Each whisky tells a story, bears an evocative name and commits to a precise style, far from formulaic standards.
Aveux Gourmands embodies the most generous and seductive side of the house. Crafted from carefully selected French whiskies, it places the emphasis on roundness, indulgence and bright fruit. The ageing, conducted with precision, favours casks that bring sweetness and depth without masking the finesse of the distillate.
On tasting, the nose opens with comforting, patisserie-like notes: butterscotch, vanilla, warm brioche, ripe stone fruit, with a subtly spicy touch. The palate is generous, supple and enveloping, marked by flavours of poached pear, honey, fresh almond and toffee. The texture is velvety, well-balanced by a delicately woody structure that lends depth and length. The finish, persistent and harmonious, extends this indulgent sensation without heaviness.
Approachable yet precise, Aveux Gourmands can be enjoyed neat or alongside a fruit dessert, an almond tart, or a blue cheese for a contrasting pairing. A modern, generous and elegant French whisky that wins you over with its sincerity and balance.
