Nestled on a very small island, the old limestone building, lined with lime trees and willows, is surrounded by two arms of the Seugne

 

The Distillerie Naud

NAUD brandies and spirits reflect the heritage of traditions passed down over five generations by the Naud family and the acronym "Noble and Unusual Distillery", characterising the estate's label's innovative and modern expression.

The NAUD brand is first and foremost a local anchorage in Charente-Maritime, where the family ancestor, Émile Perrier, founded in 1923 his first liqueur distillery in the heart of Pons. In 1936, Émile's son converted the 19th-century grain mill of Pinthiers into a cognac distillery. The Perrier  Distillery was born! Well hidden amongst the linden and willow trees and set upon the tiny island of Pinthiers, the old 19th-century limestone building, bordered by two arms of the River Seugne, has witnessed Emile Perrier's meticulous production of original liqueurs for decades. 

In the 1980s, the discreet but ingenious Jean-Michel Naud, Robert Perrier's son-in-law, inherited the family distillery and gave it and its productions a serious facelift! With the help of his children, Pierre and Clarisse, an oenologist deeply rooted in the Charente terroir, reignited the flames under the five traditional 2,500-litre Charente pot stills to produce small batches of unique eaux de vie and spirits featuring an elegant roundness.

On their 100-hectare estate, the family inheritors perpetuate their know-how as winegrowers, winemakers, wine merchants (five ageing cellars) and master distillers since 1923. As a result, excellence, tradition and passion combine in a modern and renewed spirit to offer us a selection of original and appealing spirits, including a gin, vodka, single cask rum, two spiced rums, and some fabulous cognacs.

In addition, the Naud Distillery Estate also houses a cosy cottage nestled between the willows of Pinthiers Island and lulled by the mill's water for a quiet weekend away in the countryside.

Spiced Rum Hidden Loot
Dark Reserve

Specifications

41 % alc. vol. / 70 cl

The same base of 2-year Panamanian rum but using a different maceration recipe of 10 fruits and spices for this batch production. Sweet and bigarade oranges, coconut, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and bird's eye chili are the main ingredients of this new recipe, which blend perfectly with this molasses rum distilled on columns in the Arco Seco peninsula in Panama.

With its higher alcohol content of 41% ABV, the Dark Reserve aims to please the palate of mature connoisseurs. The nose is subtle and well-balanced, with notes of bigarade oranges, vanilla and toasted oak underlined by tonka bean. The palate is generous and complex, revealing nutmeg, candied orange zest and sweet French pastry aromas. The finish is smooth and delicately enhanced by bird's eye chili.
