The origins of Esprit de Figues brings a vision inspired by creator Patrick Borg's Mediterranean family’s heritage to a 150-year-old distillery located in Burgundy, France for an utterly unique tipple made with fresh Violette de Bordeaux Figs.
TASTING NOTE
Sweet, without being syrupy or sickly, the earthy figs are very flavoursome and paired well with notes of raspberry jam, vanilla and honey.
Beautifully composed, it tastes as good as it looks.

Specific References
A single malt whisky made from carefully-chosen peated malt, distilled in the natural environment of Tottori and aged in selected casks.
This whisky evokes a mellow, fruity sweetness, with a smoky, peaty finish. This masterpiece, carefully crafted with heart and passion, is cut to proof with high-quality natural spring water from Mt. Daisen.
The apples are mixed, crushed and pressed. The apple juice is fermented right out to give cider to be distilled. Double distillation is carried out 6 months after the fermentation has taken place. The first distillation gives the "petite eau" at 30% by volume and it is the second distillation, that of the "petite eau" which gives the Calvados.
Aging: Two years minimum. In toasted 400 l (88 imperial gallon) oak barrels, 50% of which are new.
