If you travel high into the French Alps between the cliffs of Vercors and the peaks of Écrins National Park, you might be surprised that besides some of the world’s most beautiful mountain terrain, there is also Whiskey.

Surrounded by the Trièves Mountains sits Les Hautes Glaces, the world’s oldest organic whisky farm & distillery, established in 2009 by Frédéric Revol.

Nestled in such beauty, it’s not surprising that the distillery aims to put terroir at the heart of the taste of all its liquids.

To find out more, we talk to Revol about grains, terroir and what it’s like to distil in the French Alps.
