BONS MOMENTS

Quests, journeys, pathways of the curious — all are lit, if one is lucky, by Bons Moments; sparks of conviviality that lift the spirits & set hearts aglow. As we forge ever onwards in our own quest to unearth whisky’s most natural flavours, we are fortunate in the constant presence of fellow gastronomes, bon vivants, intrigued adventurers who share our reverence for the natural flavours of barley & the land. It is with these cheerful companions, like our friends at V and B, that we have shared our best and brightest Bons Moments, revelling in the thrill of rare flavour. This collaborative creation, a bespoke bottling, is our raised glassto those moments. To shared joys, good cheer & trusty companions along the road to natural whisky.

A Micro Cuvée Explainer

The spirit of a Micro Cuvée is intended to be fun and frivolous. We managed to smuggle a bottle of Pique-Nique – last summer’s very limited Micro Cuvée – to our founder and CEO Mark Reynier, whilst he was at home on Islay. Here he explains the mood of a Micro Cuvée: what these little bottlings are all about.
