This is huge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMembers, your upcoming May Whisky of the Month is dead-set proof of why, with French oak Sauternes barriques at centre stage of this double-matured, 50.1% ABV batch strength bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSauternes – France’s golden nectar of dessert wines – is made up of 3 grape types: Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle. Only a portion of France’s most prestigious winemakers produce Sauternes, and the stuff at the top tier stands among the greatest dessert wines produced in Europe.
