Location and approach: Mammenn Distillerie is located in Pays Bigouden in Brittany and operates as a micro-distillery based on a family-run setup. The distillate is produced with a focus on close collaboration with local producers and ingredients from the area.
Production equipment and methods: The operation uses Mammouth, a traditional 500-liter copper still, and follows time-honored production methods. The products are produced and distilled using historical techniques.
Quality and purity: The aim is to use only ingredients without additives and no chemical interventions. The products are produced manually and handcrafted, and each bottle is numbered. Great emphasis is placed on natural products, local suppliers, and an aging process.
Water source and environment: The company uses its own spring water filtered directly on the premises, underscoring a return to the sources in the craft and ingredients.
Values and philosophy: Sincerity and authenticity form the basis for the products, seen as an invitation to share and enjoy together with others. There is a strong emphasis on bringing quality, craftsmanship, and innovation into every production.

Z3US (white whisky / new make, not aged long): 70 cl, 42% vol. The description indicates it is a white whisky (new make) with a few weeks of maturation in bourbon and pommeau casks. Price: €75.00. Notes: initial grainy sensation of barley (barley malted locally in Finistère and Morbihan; malted at Yec’Hed Malt in Vannes), hints of apple and pear, and a finish reminiscent of toasted bread. Served at room temperature. The expression describes Z3US as the first whisky from the Bigouden region.
Note: Z3US is categorized as whisky, and the price is listed. The information also indicates that there may be reservations or sold out at the moment, as the text mentions Rupture de stock.

Z3US: The grain dominates the aroma at the start; notes of apple and pear bring fruity elements; a somewhat whispering finish with a light toasted bread-like note. Served at room temperature and not chilled prior to serving.
