What triple malt means here
Triple malt does not refer to triple distillation but to three single malts blended together, from three French distilleries in three regions. By definition it is therefore a blended malt and not a single malt. The names of the supplying distilleries are deliberately not on the label.
The individual malts mature for three to eight years in French oak at the supplying houses. This is followed by roughly a year of finishing in a character cask, in chais in the Charente. The colour on the bottle tells you which cask was used: Noir is the peated expression, Prune is finished in casks that held French plum brandy.
The bottles we have in stock
The peated Noir, and the Prune with its finish in plum casks.

Bellevoye was conceived by Jean Moueix and Alexandre Sirech, two men from Bordeaux. They had no distillery of their own but did have an idea: buy malts from French distilleries in different regions, blend them, and finish the whole in a single cask.
The house behind the brand is called Les Bienheureux. For a long time they were buyers, blenders and maturers, and nothing more. Only in November 2019 did they buy their own distillery, Distillerie de Bercloux in Charente-Maritime, which was already one of their suppliers.
Bellevoye does not disclose, bottle by bottle, whether today's bottles consist wholly or partly of its own distillate. There is no Bellevoye distillery: it is a brand, and the blending is the story.
Three malts from three regions, and then one cask that defines the whole.
What to look out for
The colour on the bottle stands for the finish, not for an age or a distillery.
Both versions are bottled at forty-three percent; please check this on the label.

Frequently asked questions about Bellevoye

Two bottles.
What does triple malt mean?
That three French single malts from three regions have been combined. It does not refer to triple distillation. The result is a blended malt, not a single malt.

No. It is a brand of Les Bienheureux, which buys in, blends and finishes malts. Since November 2019 the house does have its own distillery with Distillerie de Bercloux.
What do the colours stand for?
For the finish. Noir is the peated version, Prune is finished in casks of French plum brandy.
