Detailed Description

Brand Story 

Quai d'Orsay is a brand designed specifically for the French market. Created in the 1970s, it takes its name from the famous quays along the Seine in Paris. All its vitolas, which are designed to be light, are made from a combination of leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region and dressed in Claro (wax) or Colorado Claro (light brown) capes. All are Totalmento a Mano, Trip Larga (entirely handmade, long filler).

Product Detail 

The Quai d'Orsay Corona was available in two versions, Coronas Claro and Coronas Claro Claro. The name behind ‘Coronas’ refers to the colour of the packaging, which in the first case means Colorado Claro (chestnut brown) and in the second case ‘Clarissimo’, which means almost green. However, the second version has disappeared over time. The Quai d'Orsay Corona Claro pampers smokers with pleasant cocoa flavours, combined with woody notes and earthy tones. It is exceptionally mild for a Cuban cigar, making it ideal for beginners.

Brand Story

The history of Balvenie is closely linked to that of other distilleries. It all began in 1892 in Dufftown when John and William Grant decided, after having built Glenfiddich not far away, to build a second distillery. You will have understood, she will be named Balvenie. The distillery has always belonged to the same company since its creation: William Grant and Sons. Balvenie’s reputation is that of a distillery of absolute classicism. It's hard to find a Balvenie that's bad, just as it was difficult at one time to find a version that was off the beaten track. A new range in place for two years has changed the situation and today The Balvenie has a new face.

Product Detail

This whiskey was first matured in traditional oak barrels, before being transferred to ex-rum barrels for an indefinite post-maturation period. David C. Stewart selects these rum barrels himself, filled with a blend of sugar cane spirits from the West Indies, and waits until the wood has absorbed the ideal amount of aromas. What ultimately happens with the rum remains a secret, but the resulting whiskey is promising. It smells like sugar cane, pineapple, papaya, coconut, caramel and vanilla. The taste of Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Years is creamy and fruity, but quite dry and salty with aromas of oak wood.
