Dit is Brousse van Landa\u2019s Distillerie, een Franse single grain whisky gemaakt van gemoute gerst, ongemoute gerst en ma\u00efs, gerijpt in Cognacvaten \/ f\u00fbts de Cognac en gebotteld op 46% ABV. Niet Schotland. Ook niet proberen Schotland te zijn. Dit is Zuid-Frankrijk in je glas. Landa\u2019s ligt in de Aveyron, vlak bij het prachtige dorpje Brousse-le-Ch\u00e2teau, tussen oude stenen, heuvels en graanvelden. En het verhaal gaat verder terug dan whisky. In 1957 begon Justin Thiers met het distilleren van druivendraf in Aveyron. In 1970 stapte zijn zoon Raoul erbij en hield hij de familietraditie levend tot 2005. Daarna bracht Mathieu Recoules in 2017 het ambacht opnieuw tot leven in Lestrade, met \u00e9\u00e9n duidelijk doel: Franse whisky maken met een eigen identiteit. Geen groot fabrieksgevoel hier. Meer een kleine Franse distilleerderij die rustig haar eigen weg kiest, met geduld, trots en echt savoir-faire.<br>En eerlijk\u2026 deze whisky is gewoon heerlijk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(768 \/ 1024)\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-3579\" data-id=\"3579\" data-aspect-ratio=\"768 \/ 1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/02-768x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/02-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/02-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/02-1151x1536.jpg 1151w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/02-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/02.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-3580\" data-id=\"3580\" data-aspect-ratio=\"683 \/ 1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/06-683x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/06-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/06-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/06-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/06-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/06-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/06.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-3581\" data-id=\"3581\" data-aspect-ratio=\"683 \/ 1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/05-683x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/05-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/05-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/05-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/05-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/05-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/05.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-3582\" data-id=\"3582\" data-aspect-ratio=\"819 \/ 1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/03-819x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/03-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/03-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/03-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/03-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/03.jpg 1122w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neus<\/strong>:<br>Nootachtig, warm en rijp.

Niet op een schreeuwerige \u201ckijk mij eens\u201d manier, maar juist in de details. Er zit zo\u2019n licht rustiek Frans randje aan, een beetje terroir, waardoor hij anders voelt dan de bekende whiskyroute. En precies daarom vind ik hem zo leuk. Het herinnert je eraan dat goede whisky niet altijd uit de landen hoeft te komen die we al uit ons hoofd kennen. Soms moet je gewoon iets verder kijken. Naar Frankrijk bijvoorbeeld. Want flessen zoals deze laten zien dat er nog z\u00f3 veel te ontdekken valt. En eerlijk\u2026 dit is een hele mooie reden om daarmee te beginnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/449464369_3549834138641741_6932948904609263452_n-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/449464369_3549834138641741_6932948904609263452_n-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/449464369_3549834138641741_6932948904609263452_n-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/449464369_3549834138641741_6932948904609263452_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/449464369_3549834138641741_6932948904609263452_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thedutchwhiskyassociation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/449464369_3549834138641741_6932948904609263452_n.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>persbericht door Jan Smits &#8230;van Landa\u2019s Distillerie Gerijpt in Cognacvaten, 46% ABV, en bewijs dat Frankrijk serieus interessant wordt op whiskygebied.
