Distillery Information

The summer meetings of “Thtre Hrisson” presented that year an adaptation of the novel by Thomas Berger, The Memories of a Pale Face (Little Big Man in the cinema). The actor and future founder of the Balthazar Distillery Olivier Perrier meets James Leva, a musician from North Carolina on this show. This native American had learned to distill Moonshine (alcohol from contraband grain in the USA) thanks to a world-famous violinist: Tommy Jarrel, who could not make a living from his musical passion. There followed an exchange of good manners between the two men: one taught him to play music, and the other helped him produce his Moonshine. During the rehearsal weeks, Olivier and James decide to make a makeshift still, to malt barley, to incorporate corn, for its roundness and its fruity side, and rye, for its spicy aromas. After having distilled a few liters of this cereal brandy, they offer it to many spectators. From these surprising aromas, and his passion for hand-distilled alcohols, Olivier begins to develop a whiskey from the Pays de Tronais, always combining several cereals.
