Issues

The challenges of blending spirits

Blending is a complex process that requires a thorough understanding of the different flavor profiles of eaux-de-vie. Producers are often faced with the challenges of balancing aromas, choosing the right vintages, and achieving a consistent final product. Without technical and sensory expertise, it’s easy to lose quality or fail to achieve the desired vision for the final product. Each blend must be perfectly adapted to market expectations, while respecting the specific characteristics of the product.
