WHISKY, REWRITTEN BY FINE WINE

The science and techniques of fine wine, applied to single malt.

Great whisky is decided

Great whisky comes from great spirit — decided in the choice of malt, the conduct of fermentation, the mastery of distillation, and the art of maturation and assemblage. Maison Lineti was born from the world of fine wine and brings the science of oenology to single malt.

Fermentation is where it is decided

For us, the decisive moment is fermentation. This is the stage where we set the aromatic blueprint of the single malt to come. We shape a spirit destined to become a precise, elegant and complex whisky.

A fermentation hall unlike any other

Fermentation then takes over: long, slow, in temperature-controlled ovoid concrete fermenters. The shape of the fermenter encourages a natural convection that deepens complexity and gives the spirit its floral elegance.

Precision as a method

In the manner of the great watchmaking houses, Maison Lineti orchestrates every stage of creation with the same obsession for detail. Whisky tradition, rewritten by the precision of the hand.

Three collections, one signature

We favour first-fill casks, which bring richness and aromatic complexity to our whiskies. Combined with fermentation methods new to whisky and a finely drawn distillation, where every detail is meticulously orchestrated, they give rise to whiskies of rare elegance. Fine and subtle, our single malts stand out for their floral and mineral nuances — the emblematic signature of Maison Lineti.

Small batch by design

Maison Lineti releases small batches in limited runs. The Maison's standard demands a ruthless selection: we bottle only the casks that meet it.

Non-chill filtered, natural colour: nothing added for show.

Wine science in the service of single malt

At Maison Lineti, the exacting standards of the Grands Crus inspire the crafting of every whisky. The formation and interaction of aromatic compounds are studied with precision, so as to reveal all their complexity, elegance and depth.

Two founders, one intention

Alex Cosculluela and Dr. Magali Picard are the two founders of Maison Lineti. Partners in life and a pair in the distillery, both given to the same pursuit.

Aromatic signature

Floral, mineral, taut, rounded. A signature recognisable from the first sip, from one cuvée to the next.

A whisky of precision

Conceived as a plain setting, the bottle gives all the space to what matters: the whisky.

Far from artifice, we believe a great whisky has no need to raise its voice to be noticed. It asserts itself through precision, balance and character.

The bottle becomes the natural extension of that philosophy, stepping back with elegance so the whisky can speak in full.
