Producer history Brenne
The brand was created by founder Allison Parc and debuted on the New York market in 2012. Born as a 'seed-to-spirit' project, Brenne is produced in a third-generation farm-distillery in the Cognac region; the second expression, Brenne Ten, was launched in 2015 as a limited edition with ten years of aging. Over the years the brand has expanded distribution, particularly in the United States and selected European markets.
Production philosophy
Showcase the French terroir through an integrated approach from barley cultivation to bottle: locally sourced certified organic ingredients, artisanal processes and a maturation strategy that favors local casks to deliver a fruity, floral and creamy profile.
Territory
Produced in the Cognac region (department of Charente), France; the project combines local production in Cognac with a strong commercial presence and an initial market launch in New York.
