Whisky in Tarn, oh

TAGlines has reported before on the practice of itinerant distillers, licensed to go around the countryside to turn local producers fruit into various "eaux de vie". The family Castan are in that tradition, but have now settled down at Villeneuve sur Vere, between Cordes and Albi.
In 2010 they added whisky to their production and all 450 odd bottles were quickly sold when marketed in 2013. It takes time to bring whisky to maturity and the distillery has 30 barrels in production, but only three are being put on sale. They intend to make three grades, and the 2015 "peat" variety is already completely sold out.
