For years, Mr. Bachala was a lion tamer in the Zavatta circus before turning his hand to armagnac production in the late ‘70s. The humid conditions in his ageing cellars have contributed to the fact that his armagnacs have a lower alcohol level.

Limoncino Riviera dei Limoni Issued from the traditional recipe of the Riviera dei Limoni on Lake Garda, this sweet yet bold liqueur is made from lemon peel extracts.
This noble, carefully distilled and matured fruit brandy from Williams pears captivates the senses with the unmistakable aroma of this fruit. The Williams pear is cultivated in Switzerland in the canton of Valais and is one of the most popular pear varieties. Thanks to its powerful yet elegant aroma, it is ideal for the production of pear brandy. The freshly distilled Williams pear brandy first rests in stainless steel tanks for at least two years and then matures in oak casks for 14 to 18 months. After the maturation process, the pear brandy is further refined with a homemade bonificateur to give it the wonderful aroma and subtle sweetness, which makes this Vieille Poire so unique.
In the whisky that made Cu Bocan's name, light smoke intertwines with rich citrus and exotic spices. Subtly smoky, surprisingly sweet, it opens up the world of lightly peated whisky.
