CORE EXPRESSIONS

Here you'll find a collection of our core expressions: the essence of Hautes Glaces. One to celebrate the refinement of barley, another to discover the racy character of rye: two signatures that give you a taste of the sublime alliance between the grains of our mountains, unprecedented know-how, and essential resting time.

INDIGENE

44% VOL.
VOLUME : 50cl

"Indigene" is the result of a vision, the reinterpretation of single malt Scotch whisky, the world's leading whisky, in the style of the Hautes Glaces. An exceptional whisky rooted in a territory, nourished by its resources and sublimated by its constraints. "Indigene" is the strength of the local, embodying the genius of the place, the sincerity of a whisky with the taste of the Alps and the character of the people who make it.

VULSON

43% VOL.
VOLUME : 50cl

A rye eau-de-vie as an ode to a grain that is emblematic of our 'high country', but also of the world of spirits. A concentration of flavours and a depth of texture that will delight the taste buds of spirits lovers. A racy character to elevate any mixologists' creations. It is also a tribute to Doctor Pierre Vulson de la Colombière, who in 1638 praised the waters gushing from the volcano shaped mountain which now bears his name. It was on this land that the Hautes Glaces farm was established, and it is these springs that now feed the distillery to create VULSON.

Novelty
Mountain Whiskey

In this beautiful book, through the intimate story of the creation of the Domaine des Hautes Glaces – the world's first 100% organic farm-distillery – Frédéric Revol places whisky production at the heart of current environmental and social issues. He tells us about the history of this spirit drink, its technical and industrial evolution over the centuries, but also about peasant seeds, regenerative agriculture, alternatives and the fight for the transition. In this work, both erudite and intimate, an aesthetic quest emerges chapter after chapter where the constraints and natural limits of a territory become sources of creativity and innovation, where the connection to the land and the pleasure of collective work forge a journey of tastes. This book received the Jury's Favorite of the Grand Prix du Livre Spirit 2024, which recognizes a work (story, novel, essay or a beautiful book) magnifying a spirit, the arts of the table or oenology.

EPISTÉMÈ, THE EXPLORATORY COLLECTION

Introducing our exploratory collection: unique editions to taste the many facets of the Hautes Glaces terroir. These limited editions invite you to discover the richness and complexity of the know-how involved from field to bottle. Whisky produced on a parcel-by-parcel basis, the influence of grain, yeast, cask or cellar, new cereals or seasonality... Epistémè offers an ever-changing journey of taste.

To help you find your way through this aromatic infinity, the editions of the Epistémè collection have an original code name, reflecting the exploration specific to each cuvée.



Code name: Episteme

Epistemè nf, from the ancient Greek “ἐπιστήμη”, which means science, in the double sense of knowledge and the capacity to be “learned in action”.


The Epistémè limited editions bear an original code name, reflecting the exploration specific to each vintage: the first letter designates the cereal used, the first ten corresponds to the vintage. The second letter announces the exploration (yeast, season, variety, plot, etc.) and the second ten reveals the year of bottling.


The name ends with a form, which distinguishes the different expressions within the same exploration.

R15C25 ■ - Dble maturation
VOLUME : 50 cl

Epistémè R15C25 ■ est la première des expressions jumelles de l’exploration R15C25, une expérience sur l’influence du voyage d’une même eau-de-vie dans deux séries de fûts distincts.  A l’origine, les 2 expressions de R15C25 sont issues d’un même distillat parcellaire et millésimé, des whisky créés à partir de la même matière première :  du seigle (variété Caroas), moissonné sur le climat Gabert en 2015 (« R15 »). A la sortie de l’alambic, en juillet 2016, le distillat connait alors deux chemins d’élevage distincts pour offrir 9 années plus tard, deux expressions de Rye Whisky aux palettes aromatiques spécifiques. Epistémè R15C25 ■ a vieilli dans 2 fûts - on parle alors de double maturation ; d’abord en fût neuf les premières semaines, il a ensuite vieilli les 9 années suivantes en roux de Cognac.  Ces 2 fûts ont en commun la nature de leur bois, du chêne français - Quercus Robur - caractérisé par une prédominance de grains grossiers, qui apportent davantage de tanins structurant les whiskys, déployant pour cette première expression des notes fraiches et aériennes d’épices, et fruits secs. Edition limitée à 666 bouteilles.

Epistémè R15C25 ▲ a connu une triple maturation : d’abord en fût neuf pendant quelques semaines, il a ensuite vieilli successivement en 2 roux, l’un de Cognac, puis l’autre de vin (ex-Pinot gris) d’un ami vigneron du Trieves. Ces 3 fûts ont eux aussi en commun la nature de leur bois : du chêne français - Quercus Petraea - caractérisé par une prédominance de grains fins. 3 fûts aux influences distinctes pour un whisky rustique, racinaire, aux touches d’agrumes en finale.

S12U24 ★

S12U24 ★

53% VOL.
VOLUME : 50cl

Ancestor of wheat whose thousand-year-old origins are located in the Alpine arc, spelt is the emblematic cereal of the Mediterranean rim. Long forgotten in the world of milling before a few bakers brought it back into fashion in the early 2000s, non-existent in the world of spirits, it didn't take much more to make us want to sow a few hectares of it on the Gabert climate in 2011 ! After S12U23 ★ last year, here is the whisky from this plot aged for an additional year. With S12U24 ★, we are offering you an ascending tasting, the beginning of a path that will lead us to discover the fabulous potential of spelt in terms of whisky!

VOLUME : 50cl

True to our reputation as a pioneer in taste. True also to our natural disposition in favor of cereals and their environment; the Domaine des Hautes Glaces offers you with this bottle a beautiful way to discover the great spelt in its "white" version. This triple distillation of "wheat of the Gauls" will give a little more grain to grind to dreamers, to those for whom distillation is both a concrete know-how and an alchemist's mystery. And for good reason: a brandy of a rare aroma, at crazy speed!

B16D24 ■

44% VOL.
VOLUME : 50cl

B16D24 CARRÉ is a single-plot whisky from a single plot of barley from the Vulson climate, harvested in 2016. Aged for 8 years in a single cask, a former Vin Jaune cask, it was then divided into two batches, to offer an experience of the influence of the alcoholic strength on the nature of a whisky, 2 expressions with unique characters and their own flavors. B16D24 TRIANGLE is a cask strength! It has been bottled at its natural degree of aging, 52.3%, where time leads it: a massive, generous, opulent whisky with a good-natured side and a mellowness full of delicacy. B16D24 CARRÉ has seen a gradual reduction in its alcohol content by adding water to reach 44% vol. At this level, B16D24 CARRÉ offers balance and tasty comfort, a promise of gourmet freshness.

VOLUME : 50cl

RØØF24 TRIANGLE is the second exploration of the influence of the finish on the taste of our whiskies. RØØF24 TRIANGLE is a 100% malted single rye, blended from several vintages and the Hautes Glaces’ two emblematic climates: Gabert and Vulson. After a long maturation in Cognac casks, our rye was then refined for five months in two casks that had contained a red wine from the Côtes de Duras. Normally we prefer white wine casks, but the absence of dogmatism when it comes to taste exploration can lead to some wonderful surprises. And this is one of them! A successful and harmonious combination red and rye, these two worlds melt powerfully together in your glass.
