Whisky

Whisky is a spirit made from malted cereals, such as corn, barley, wheat or rye. Even today, it is not really known if the drink originates from Ireland or Scotland, each claiming to be its country of birth! In perfumery we generally use pure malt whisky, an alcohol elaborated exclusively from malted barley. It is then necessary to proceed to the distillation of the alcohol. This process enables to obtain an essence with a complex and racy scent. Its perfume deploys woody and peaty nuances, with accents of fresh flowers and cut grass. It also evokes more sweet aspects of honey, dried fruits and sometimes red fruits and citrus.
