LA PIAUTRE

Transitioning from beer to whisky was a natural progression for the founders of La Piautre in 2013. Since then, in La Ménitré, Maine-et-Loire, La Piautre has brought together malting, smoking, brewing, and distillation under one roof. With two Charentais stills heated by open flames, the distillery prides itself on overseeing all stages of

production of its whiskies. Working with locally sourced organic barley malted in the traditional manner is also a priority. Moreover, in the cellars, French oak barrels are used to age its Loire whiskies with distinctive cereal characteristics.
