Description

The roots of the Rozelieures whisky distillery stretch back to the late 19th century when the Grallet family began farming barley and cultivating mirabelle orchards in the small Lorraine village of Rozelieures. Over generations, they became well-established producers of fruit brandies and cereals, learning to master the land and its crops. In the early 2000s, driven by a passion for whisky and inspired by trips to Scotland, Christophe Dupic — who had joined the family business — realized that the estate’s abundant water, rich soils, and existing distillation equipment offered everything needed to make whisky. Together with his wife Sabine and father-in-law Hubert Grallet, he set in motion the project of crafting whisky entirely on the farm, a vision that culminated in the first commercial release of Rozelieures single malt in 2007.

What sets Rozelieures apart in the whisky world is its complete control over the production from field to bottle. The family grows its own barley, malts and brews it on site, distils using traditional double pot stills, and then ages the spirit in a variety of barrels — including those that once held bourbon, sherry, fine French wines, and other spirits — across several distinct cellars. Over time the distillery has added its own malting facility and continued innovating, becoming one of the few whisky makers globally to oversee every step of the whisky-making process while still operating as a family-run enterprise.

Taste

Matured in a mixture of Cognac, Sherry and Bourbon casks.

Brand Tasting Notes: The nose is very fruity with pear, it then evolves to notes of nuts. Slight hint of smoke and malt. The palate is very oily, it is distinguished by candied fruits of great greediness before evolving on nuts and leather. The finish is long, with a hint of smoke and spice.

Holly’s Tasting Notes: Sweet Tarts candy with lemon tarts and a warm sweetness. The palate has Orange Fanta soda and creamy vanilla.
