Domaine des Hautes Glaces is an Organic Farm distillery, located in Cornillon-en-Trièves in the French Alps. Their mission is to make quality spirit with the fewest resources possible, employing methods such as regenerative farming and water recovery for irrigation.

Indigene is their core single malt release, made from 100% organic malt and double distilled on a wood fired pot still. Indigene is constructed from over 100 unique distillates, which have been matured in various cask types to match the spirit character (new oak, whisky, cognac, armagnac and wine casks to name a few).

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

Colour – Springtime Gold

Nose – A hint of wood combines with notes of candied fruit, white peaches and slightly sour pears. A great freshness emerges, the clarity of a fragrance. Gradually, the almond flavour typical of our single malts takes shape, followed by sweet, pastry-like aromas...

Palate – A comfortable entry allows us to appreciate a distinguished, well-balanced bitterness. It provides subtle support for the initial malt notes, before another sensual, ethereal and floral setting is revealed: a field of malt embracing the blossom of an orchard, with discreetly saline scents. The palate continues along this line between earth and sky, a high-altitude orchard that gradually reveals other promises, both delicious and complex.

Finish – A sensation of fine sweetness, a smooth, almost creamy texture stretching out the finish toward aromas that are both exotic (lemon, chocolate) and mountainous unfold. At the back of the empty glass dance the promises of the harvest to come: the smell of spring, flowers and barley. The burning desire to take flight again and soar above our peaks. Or when the local (the Indigène) gives you wings.
