Brenne Single Malt Whiskey is a unique style of organic French single malt whiskey produced by combining aging in new French Limousin oak and cognac casks at a cognac farm operated by the family of founder Allison Park. It uses French malt certified organic by the European Union (EU) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is fermented at low temperatures, then distilled twice in a Charente still typical of the Cognac region, and aged for a certain period. The French Limousin oak used by Brenne is a high-quality oak from the Limousin region of France, widely used for brandy aging, rich in tannins, and characterized by a vivid color and impressive flavor.

The products introduced this time include three types: ‘Brenne French Single Malt Whiskey Estate,’ ‘Brenne French Single Malt Whiskey 10 Years,’ and ‘Brenne French Single Malt Whiskey Pinot de Charente Finish.’ Among them, the Estate is Brenne’s first official product launched in 2012, using a base spirit aged for an average of about 7 years. It features an impressive palette of fruity aromas, caramel, rich cr?me br?l?e, tropical fruits, and warm spices such as cinnamon and clove.

An Ayung FBC official explained, “Brenne is a new style of single malt whiskey that offers both elegance and intensity, like the lingering tannins following delicate and smooth desserts such as vanilla ice cream and cr?me br?l?e.”

Brenne can be purchased at major department stores, Wine Nara direct stores, Wine Nara online mall, and general liquor stores. ‘Brenne Estate’ and ‘Brenne Pinot de Charente Finish’ are sold in the 100,000 KRW range, while ‘Brenne 10 Years’ is sold in the 200,000 KRW range.
