R15D24 SQUARE is the first part of the exploration into how the degree of balance impacts the taste of our whiskies. R15D24 is a parcel whisky made from a single plot of rye (Caroas variety) from the Gabert climate, harvested in 2015. Aged for 8 years in a single cask, the 254, an ex-yellow wine cask, it was then divided into three batches, each worked in reduction around different degrees of balance, each revealing a singular facet of this whisky of character, a clean, tasty and legitimate expression.

R15D24 ROUND is the second part of the exploration into how the degree of balance impacts the taste of our whiskies.

B15C23 TRIANGLE is the first of the twin expressions in this new exploration. Epistémè B15C23 are two Single Cask made from a single plot of barley harvested in 2015 in the "climat Vulson" . Two distillates made in the same week from the same raw material, the same malted barley. The B15C23 exploration focuses here on the influence of the cask. On the journey, starting from an identical place, that these two beverages will have taken during their maturation. Placed in two separate casks when coming out of the still (a sixth-fill old Hautes Glaces's whisky cask and a refill white wine Crozes-Hermitage cask), this new Epistémè diptych will take you to regions both near and far... two limited editions to explore (487 and 438 bottles).

With Epistémè R18P23, we invite you to explore the influence of parcels and microclimatic effects on a 100% malted rye whisky. With the cuvée SQUARE, nothing about this cuvée is fundamentally different from its twin, with the exception of the plots where the rye needed to make it was grown. This expression came from the foot of the Mont-Aiguille cliffs, in limestone scree fed by the run-off waters of the Vercors and their sediments.

With Epistémè R18P23, we invite you to explore the influence of parcels and microclimatic effects on a 100% malted rye whisky. With the cuvée ROUND, nothing about this cuvée is fundamentally different from its twin, except for the plots where the rye used to distill it was grown. Here we are on the slopes of the Vulson - the rhyolitic stone extinct volcano from which our spring water gushes - in a small parcel on the Hautes Glaces farm.

As the world's oldest organic distillery, S12U23* takes us into uncharted horizons. While the (Anglo-Saxon) whisky world has focused on processing barley, rye, corn and wheat, Hautes Glaces has been inspired since 2011 by a grain forgotten by the spirits world: spelt. Time and patience will then do their work, refining the ardour of this exceptional eau de vie to forge the character of this unprecedented cuvée.
