Distillerie Bertrand – Distillerie artisanale

Uberach, the village “beyond the water” inspired the Distillerie Bertrand in 2003 in the making of its first whisky.

The malt preparation from local mash is the fruit of the exacting, valuable work required at each step of the creation, right up to the bottling.

The Uberach Whisky d’Alsace are aged in barrels that are meticulously chosen by Jean Metzger from among the best-known cellars in Banyuls. These barrels will have spent many years aging the sweet wine from the area before arriving in Uberach. Their unique history finds its subtle expression in this line of whiskies.

Character

An emblematic trailblazer, the signature product of the creator-composer, it reflects the timeless style of the Distillerie Bertrand.

Production

This IGP Whisky d’Alsace (Protected Geographical Indication), made of malted barley and the highest-quality water, is made in Holstein column stills dating from 1985. Non-chill filtered, the whisky is then aged in new barrels and again a second or third time in barrels from Banyuls.

Secret

These single malt and single cask whiskies were the first to obtain the IGP Whisky d’Alsace (Protected Geographical Indication) at its creation in 2015.

In Uberach, the village “beyond the water,”

Their hearts stirred by the storied past of its terroir,

My men have beguiled the soil

Into becoming my homeland, Alsace.

Throughout the years, many a generation of distillers

Have passed their time patiently, allowing Nature to take her course,

Ripening the fruit, malting the barley,

And they work in harmony with her slow rhythms.

Imagining the unique bottles to come, the one-in-a-million,

Taking tasting to a new dimension.

A pendulum swinging between the old ways and the new,

Swimming against the tide of trends,

Cradled by the passing seasons,

This is the rhythm of my life,

Distillerie Bertrand.

Au village d’Uberach, « au-delà de l’eau »,

Inspirés par la riche histoire du terroir,

Mes hommes apprivoisent le territoire

Pour faire de cette terre d’Alsace mon berceau.

Depuis lors, les générations de distillateurs,

Attendent, patientent, quand la nature le permet,

Que le fruit soit mûr ou l’orge soit maltée ;

Et composent avec les notes de la lenteur.

Imaginant des flacons d’exception.

Créant des expériences de dégustation.

Balancier entre tradition & innovation,

S’inscrire dans un temps à contre-courant,

Patienter au gré des saisons,

C’est ainsi que je vis,

Distillerie Bertrand.
