LOCATION
Ninalys whisky is produced at Ninkasi distillery wich is located in Tarare, on the doorstep of the Beaujolais hills. It has direct access to the Turdine River, one of the softest waters in France. The wash is prepared right in the middle of our brewery using French malted barley.
Two magnificent copper double-distillation pot stills reign in the first room. They were made by hand by the Chalvignac manufacture, in the pure Charentaise tradition – the region where the village of Cognac is located. With our quality raw materials and working instruments that we perfected, we started producing our whisky in 2015.
THE QUEST TO INNOVATE
In 2023, the distillery welcomed two new stills carrying innovative technology :
low-temperature distillation. The Honoré manufacture refined this distillation technique, also known as vacuum distillation, over several years.
Since boiling temperatures are linked with localized pressure, all air is emptied out of the stills so that boiling occurs at a low temperature.
This distillation technique makes it possible to significantly reduce the energy required throughout the distillation process, and safeguard aromas that are more sensitive to high temperatures.
By blending the heritage of traditional tools with the most modern and latest technologies available, Alban Perret and his team have created the conditions in their distillery to produce in absolute excellence.
