A brief introduction to La Alazana

The first farm to bottle single malt distillery in Argentina, La Alazana is run by the pioneering Serenelli family. Growing a range of barley varieties at the family-owned farm which they malt on site, they even occasionally craft casks using staves of local rare French Oak at their in-house cooperage. Double distillation of these barley varieties with spring water of unmatched purity from the Andes Mountains takes place in their locally designed and built copper pot stills, rendering a fine and elegant spirit, while the local microclimate of their valley location allows for a long and smooth maturation, all of which gives their whisky a unique Patagonian character.
