The LE LAY family has been distilling for 5 generations and is now run by the 3 LE LAY brothers, Erwan, Kevin and Loig.

Since 1999, the distillery has been using 100 % locally sourced buckwheat for its EDDU whisky selection (“eddu” means buckwheat in the Breton language).

Buckwheat is an emblematic cereal in Brittany and was chosen by the Distillerie des Menhirs for its unique and distinctive aromas.

EDDU has unique character. It is a well-balanced, very fruity and floral whisky. The different EDDU releases are created by the cellar master who contributes his precision, experience and intuition.

EDDU is available in two editions:

EDDU Silver: 5 years old. Aged in French Cognac barrels

EDDU Silver Brocéliande : 5 years old. Aged in Cognac barrels and finished for one additional year in new French oak casks from the nearby Brocéliande Forest.
