Meet Maison Lineti, the creators of a truly unique whisky experience—straight from Bordeaux! Founded in 2018 by Dr. Magali Picard and Alex Cosculluela, both veterans of Bordeaux’s prestigious wine scene, this distillery is reimagining whisky with a French touch. Their claim to fame? They’re behind the world’s first wine-inspired whisky.
Here’s the secret sauce: Maison Lineti uses organic French barley, fermented in egg-shaped concrete vats—a method borrowed straight from the wine world. These distinctive vessels, a nod to Bordeaux’s iconic wineries, add a layer of finesse to their whisky that’s hard to find anywhere else.
The distillery balances innovation with tradition. Their two Charentais stills, heated by open flames, ensure the spirit keeps its old-school charm. But it’s the dedication of the team that really shines through. Every step is carefully thought out, with elegance as their guiding principle.
What can you expect from a sip of Maison Lineti? Floral and mineral aromas, a refreshing brightness on the palate, and a complexity that feels both timeless and modern. It’s whisky, but with a distinctly French accent—and it’s turning heads in the whisky world. Cheers to that!
