History

For four generations, Maison DAUCOURT has been known for their production of spirits and a pursuit of excellence.
The distillery is regarded as one of the pioneers in the development of French whisky; D.U.C Whisky was created by Jean-Marc and Edouard DAUCOURT as part of this evolution.
The third and fourth generations, Edouard and Charles DAUCOURT, are behind the creation of D.U.C Whisky.
A new era began with the development of a unique whisky produced in France; Bastille 1789 was launched as a "Made in France" brand, and internationally it took off in 2010.
Today the distillery is marketed in its home country as a haute-couture whisky brand with two expressions: Bastille 1789 Blend and Bastille 1789 Single Malt.

Maison DAUCOURT produces their D.U.C Whisky by combining aroma profiles and rare distillation and blending skills.
They use the family distillery's traditional gooseneck-pot stills, typical of the Charente region.
