This first Vilanova "Collection signature" edition, named "Gilbert" in homage to the distillery's founder, born 102 years ago, is the result of a small blend of the casks making up the distillery's permanent cuvees in equivalent proportions:
- Ex-Bourbon casks (Vilanova Gost component)
- Ex-casks of Vilanova Berbie's characteristic sweet (Pacherenc and Rivesaltes appellations) and dry (Bergerac appellation) white wines.
- Ex-red wine barrels (Saint-Julien appellation), used for Vilanova Roja.
Barely marked by its degree thanks to a particularly long reduction, the bouquet opens with subtle vanilla notes, finely woody, enhanced by hints of Ente plum and iodine. Full-bodied on the palate, tactile and mellow at the same time, with roasted notes, it offers a superb length that fades to a saline finish.
Vilanova Cuvée Gilbert Signature #1 is a fruity single malt with a strong character, capable of satisfying the most demanding connoisseurs.
A testament to the family's history, this small batch is the perfect accompaniment to the launch of Vilanova's new identity.

Nose : Rich and fruity. A duality is immediately apparent on the nose. The attack, muscled by slightly animal notes of leather and wood, softly develops into scents of red fruit (raspberry, blueberry jam), enveloped by subtle notes of vanilla and iodine.

Palate : Ample and complex. The palate, evolving and subtle, begins with a basket of juicy fruit (plum, red berries) before evoking dark chocolate, cubeb pepper and notes of roasting that hint at light smoke. A hint of tannin and rusticity round out the experience.

Overall : Long and saline. Notes of wax and roasting bring the tasting to a close, alongside beautiful waves of spice, intermingled with cinnamon and white pepper, the whole sublimated by a pleasant hint of saltiness.
