Tasting notes

Nose: Complex, developing notes of cereals , fresh apples and roasted hazelnuts .
Palate: Rich and indulgent, the attack reveals a perfectly controlled vanilla flavor , accompanied by a beautiful floral freshness. On the mid-palate, notes of ripe plums and a persistent malty presence appear.
Finish: Long and intense, a slight bitterness mixes with a hint of peat , highlighting finely woody nuances and a remarkable aromatic persistence.

Pairings and tasting moments

Ideal as a refined aperitif , served in a tulip glass to concentrate the aromas. Pairs wonderfully with a platter of mature cheeses (dry brocciu, Corsican tomme) to balance the vanilla and malty richness. As an elegant digestif , accompany it with a dark chocolate fondant or a fig tart to prolong the fruity and woody notes. For a sweet and savory pairing, offer roasted walnuts or a Corsican almond cake to echo the toasted hazelnut.

Product History

P&M Single Malt 7 Years is the flagship of the Mavela distillery, the result of a meticulous seven-year aging in high oak barrels from the famous Tronçais Forest . These barrels, having held an exceptional Vermentinu from Domaine Gentile (Patrimonio) and a mistelle from Cap Mattei, give the whisky a unique aromatic richness. Launched in 1999 following the partnership between the distillery and the Pietra brewery to create the first Corsican whisky, P&M 7 Years embodies island excellence. Each batch rests in the Corsican cellars, bathed in the Mediterranean air, before being bottled in a limited edition, a symbol of Corsican craftsmanship and wine heritage.

The brand

The Mavela distillery , established since 1999 in Corsica near Aleria, is at the origin of the first Corsican whisky P&M, the result of the partnership with the Pietra brewery. P&M whiskies are born in bicentennial oak barrels that have contained the finest wines of the island, and are distinguished by the use of pure water from the Col Saint-Georges at an altitude of over 1,000 meters. Their 7-year-old Single Malt was praised in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2014 for its complexity and charm, and continues to symbolize the brand's ambition for excellence and authenticity.

About the distillery

Located on the eastern plain of Corsica, the Mavela distillery draws its inspiration from the island's natural riches. In collaboration with the Pietra brewery, it created the very first Corsican whisky in 1999. Copper stills receive a slowly distilled malted mash, then the distillate is aged in cellars, in two -hundred-year-old oak barrels that have previously contained exceptional wines, including Domaine Gentile's Vermentinu and Cap Mattei's mistelle. The crystal-clear water of Col Saint-Georges ensures impeccable quality.

The distillery combines tradition and innovation, exploring a variety of aging (red wines, white wines, mistelle, barrels from the Tronçais Forest) to craft unique whiskies. With international recognition (Whisky Bible, critical acclaim), Mavela now produces several limited, numbered editions, showcasing Corsican terroir and artisanal expertise. Guided tours allow visitors to discover each stage of the production process, from the cultivation of barley and corn to tasting in the cellars, in a setting where the Mediterranean Sea and the Corsican mountains meet.
