Famille Migneron, Whey Eau-de-Vie 375ml

Eau-de-Vie De Petit-Lait 

Québeс, Canada 

The Eau-de-vie de petit-lait offers an agricultural approach with a finesse worthy of the greatest spirits. Contains NO LACTOSE. Lactose is actually the sugar that was used for fermentation. This spirit is distilled three times, and then reduced with water that's coming from the family's mountain. The eau-de-vie is a small amount of the "heart" of distillation. Only the most premium and precise part of the alcohol was kept for this product. 40% ABV

This smooth spirit reveals notes of exotic fruits, a milky tone reminiscent of dulce de leche and a finish of blueberry and herbaceous honey. It's generous texture reminds us of some of the best french fruit eau-de-vies. The creamy palate finishes strong and grassy.  Wanting to follow the principles of the circular economy, our distillery recovers and distills the whey from our cheese dairy as well as the marc from our grapes to create quality agricultural spirits. Best served straight, in a martini or a vesper. 

Famille Migneron de Charlevoix is an award winning artisan cheese factory located in Baie Saint Paul, Quebec. Their cheeses are amongst the most popular in Canada. In 2020, they opened their own craft distillery in order to recuperate the whey generated by their cheese production. Making fine cheeses has been a family passion for two generations, and making spirits is now a natural extension to their craft. The family is also very well known for making cool climate wines from their nordic vineyard.
