Whisky de Rozelieures

What Whisky de Rozelieures does

Whisky de Rozelieures (legal entity Maison de la Mirabelle SARL) is a French single estate distillery headquartered in Rozelieures, Lorraine, producing premium single malt whisky with complete vertical integration from barley cultivation to bottling. The Grallet-Dupic family has farmed the 300-hectare estate since 1860 and has distilled fruit brandies since 1890, launching the whisky line in 2007 as the first whisky produced in Lorraine. On-site assets include the Malterie des Hautes-Vosges (1,000-tonne annual malting capacity), dual Charentais copper pot stills, six aging cellars (including an 1870 military fort), and a methanization unit (Bioénergie Rozelieures) providing 85% energy autonomy. Share capital stands at €180,000 with a headcount of 1-10 employees.

The product portfolio spans core Collections (Origine, Subtil, Rare, Tourbé, Fumé, Organic, Sherry), single-cask Fûts Uniques finished in prestigious wine and spirit barrels, the terroir-driven Parcellaire range (single-plot expressions), and the newly introduced 8 ans Triple Cask age statement. The company also produces rum under the Nazca brand aged in ex-whisky barrels. Revenue is generated through three regional e-commerce sites (including a dedicated USA platform), direct distillery sales, on-site visits (€0-€60/person), and assembly workshops (€75-€110/bottle). Distribution in the US includes specialty retailers such as Binny's in Chicago.

The company serves whisky enthusiasts seeking terroir-driven French expressions, gift buyers (gift cards ranging from €20-€150), and experience-seekers through distillery visits and blending workshops. Strategic priorities evidenced by recent activity include premiumization (the first age-statement product), US market expansion, and a co-branded barrel-finish ecosystem with partners including Bruno Clavelier (Vosne-Romanée wine estate), HSE (Martinique rum), and Piggy Brewing (craft beer).
