French artisanal producer
French artisanal and organic whisky distillery
The distillery
Located in the heart of the ‘Pays des Sources et Vallées’ in the Picardie region of Northern France, Ergaster is an artisanal whisky distillery, whose products are also certified as being organic.
The distillery’s founder, Hervé Grangeon, boasts over 25 years of professional experience in distillation, gaining the title of ‘Master Artisan Distiller’ in 2016.
Our whisky is distilled exclusively in a copper pot still, manufactured in Bordeaux by Stupfler. This still allows Ergaster distillers to better bring out the flavours of our whisky with a softness, delicacy and a remarkably rich set of aromas.

GIN
SAUVAGE
Every Summer, we hand-pick wild juniper berries. These are distilled by themselves in our pot still in order to obtain a juniper distillate of the highest quality and purity. We then individually steep each herb and seasoning in the distillate. All of our ingredients are brought together in accordance with time tested methods of gin production to deliver a product that is delicate and balanced in its character and aromas.
PUR MALT
PREMIERE
Serving as an introduction to our whiskies, our pure malts are aged in new oak casks and then transferred to aged oaked casks to finish their maturation.
The casks which have been sufficiently aged and tested for quality are then added to previous batches of our spirits, using a simplified solera type process.
WHISKY
SINGLE MALT
Distilled over a naked flame in small batches, our malts are then aged in Cornish (Quercus petraea) and European (quercus robur) oak casks. The best barrels from our storehouse are selected, non-chill filtered, then finished off to the highest standard by our master distiller.
