French whisky isn’t something you stumble across every day, but Fin de Partie by Maison Benjamin Kuentz is one that demands attention. Distilled in Lorraine and aged in a mix of bourbon, Cognac, Oloroso, PX, and virgin oak casks, it’s a whisky that’s light in colour yet brimming with character. With an oily texture, savoury depth, and a distinct cheese-like funk, this dram challenges expectations of what whisky can be — and proves that France has its own unique story to tell in the world of single malts.
