Newslink: What Does The Future of French Whisky Look Like?

“This is the château. I was born here. Our family has lived here for ten generations, about 270 years.” says Etienne d’Hautefeuille as we walk to the front garden “The main house used to have a u-shape, but the left wing was bombed during the First World War.” We stand on historic ground, because this is where Allied forces dealt a massive blow to the German army in the Battle of Amiens in August, 1918. At the inner court Etienne points out the pigeonnier that dates back to 1660, the only farm building that survived The Great War and whose roof is to be restored the coming days. To my right is one of the former stables that was renovated and turned into the accueil, the visitor’s centre. At the short end of the inner court are located the distilling room and the newly built barrel storage facility.
