Sometimes, I buy bottles on a whim. Especially when I travel, I'll pass through another country's duty free and pick something I've never seen before. Eddu Silver Double Distillation is a French whisky I bought in the CDG airport. Hailing from the Brittany region of France, Eddu interestingly features buckwheat in its distillation (rather than conventional barley) thanks to the regional landscape. Fun fact: Eddu means buckwheat in the Breton language. Eddu's nose is fairly monosyllabic and gently toffee sweet. Taste is unique; imminent heat that transitions to a rich, almost wine-like flavour. Metallic and oaky notes play through a medium length dry finish. While it's not my favourite, it's unlike most of my go-tos. What can I say, variety is the spice! 7/10
