• Product Description

  Château Latour has a legacy that few can rival. Recognized as a First Growth in the prestigious 1855 Bordeaux Classification, this legendary estate has set the gold standard for excellence in winemaking for centuries. Dating back to the 1700s, Château Latour reached new heights under Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur—dubbed the “Wine Prince”. Even King Louis XV praised Latour’s wines at court, securing its place as a sought-after choice among European nobility.

  The estate’s heart lies in the historic L’Enclos vineyard, a terroir that has remained untouched since the 18th century. The gravelly soil ensures excellent drainage, allowing the vines to dig deep for nourishment, while the Gironde estuary moderates temperatures, creating ideal ripening conditions. This unique microclimate contributes to the wine’s strength, depth, richness, and length, with fruity currant and berry characteristics, a refreshing minty note, and subtle leather undertones. These casks are carefully crafted from fine French oak, carrying the essence of this prestigious terroir.

  Expect a beautifully complex whisky with hints of sweet summer berries, blackcurrants, and an undertone of strawberry jam. Annandale’s smooth, orchard fruit-driven style will provide a perfect foundation, allowing firm yet controlled top notes to shine, delivering a whisky of depth, elegance, and balance.

  Château Latour’s casks offer an exclusive maturation journey, merging the power of Bordeaux’s most distinguished terroir with Annandale’s signature spirit style. The result is a harmonious and refined whisky, showcasing a unique interplay of fruit, oak, and complexity.
