"There isn’t greater joy in life that following and indulging in our passions, whatever they may be". It is how Valinch & Mallet was conceived and created: two people, coming from different backgrounds, united by the common passion for Whisky and the desire to transform it into a profession and share its fruits with everyone else.

Selecting single casks is not a science but a matter of taste, an art: where a standard of perfection cannot exist our creativity and personal taste are what drive us to prefer one cask over another, imagining how the spirit will marry with the wood and develop once finally poured and sealed in the bottle.

The choice of leaving our whiskies and rums un-chill filtered without adding any colorants to enhance their appearance is a natural consequence, so is our leaving most of them at their natural cask strength instead of watering them down to obtain a greater number of bottles: our only whiskies with a reduced ABV are those where a younger age led to a natural excessive aggressiveness of alcohol over the congeners that characterise the taste: leaving them untouched would have meant keeping what we loved about them, hidden.
