EPISTEME R20W26 explores the influence of wood on two single rye whiskies from specific plots and vintages. Made from Caroas rye harvested in 2020 on a single plot at the foot of Mont Aiguille, this whisky was malted, mashed, fermented and distilled in the same week. After initial ageing in Cognac casks, the distillate continued to mature in new wooden casks, including one made from French oak. R20W26 ● Oak was matured in new French oak casks, carefully crafted to create a subtle harmony between the wood and the rye. The result is a straightforward, balanced whisky that is faithful to the Hautes Glaces style. Limited edition of 582 bottles.

Nose : The nose opens with an invigorating menthol freshness, blending eucalyptus and fir resin. This bright opening then gives way to deeper nuances: burnt oak, sweet cocoa and tonka bean. Like a fleeting evocation of certain molasses rums. In the background, delicate violet and subtle vanilla reveal a sublimely integrated and balanced woody presence.

Palate : The attack on the palate is remarkably delicate: a fine but dense texture, with an exquisite lightness. It unfolds a silky, almost milky texture, with notes of orgeat, poached pear and melted sugar, perfectly sweet. The whole is magnified by a subtle spicy tension, where juniper and myrtle bring a vibrant complexity.

Overall : The finish stretches out with refined elegance on the spices, perfectly balanced, without ostentation.
