Discover the captivating essence of Joseph Cartron Violet Liqueur, skillfully crafted in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy, France. This exceptional liqueur pays homage to the delicate beauty of violet flowers, creating a sensory experience like no other.

The journey begins with the meticulous extraction of essential oils from hand-picked violet petals.

To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, the violet absolute is blended with neutral sugar beet distillate. This exquisite combination is then enhanced with the gradual incorporation of crystalized sugar derived from sugar beets. The result is a harmonious composition, with 100 grams of sugar per liter, showcasing the remarkable depth and sweetness of the violet liqueur.

This 'teaspooned' whisky is for all intents and purposes mostly the beloved 1989 Balvenie with that tiny amount of Glenlivet added in order to declassify the cask

From the bottler: 

Distillers can be very protective of their hard-won malts, especially those who carry the most prestigious of names. From time to time, they must relinquish the hold on their casks, when one is sold to an independent bottler, for instance. Before spirit changes hands, the distiller - green-eyed and flush with passion - will take a single teaspoon of another distillery’s single malt, and add it to the spirit in the cask. Just a dash it takes, but that whisky can no longer bear the name its distillery of birth.

The distillery of origin is a darling of Dufftown, where nine stout stills produce a spirit rich in fruit and notably honeyed. Her sister, nestled close by in the Moray countryside, is where the ‘teaspoon’ of malt originated. Though nameless, together they are a powerful and stunning pair.

Independent bottlings of spirit distilled at the Balvenie distillery are rarely found on the market, and though the distillery is notable for having experimented with different cask types, this ex-bourbon cask allows the distillery character to sing finely and clearly, while accentuating the sweet vanilla and stone fruit character.
