The GIRAUD Family have been coopers and cellar masters since 1875. In 1910, Louis GIRAUD began working for a prestigious “maison de cognac”, overseeing the aging of their eaux de vie. His son Alfred GIRAUD, and later his grandson André GIRAUD, succeeded him as Cellar Masters until 1990. The next two generations continued to share their skills there until, in 1995, Philippe GIRAUD joined a renowned producer of Scotch whisky. Later, to celebrate his heritage and pass it on to the next generations, he created Alfred GIRAUD French Malt Whisky.
