Distillerie Castan
The Castan distillery has been a family affair for 3 generations. Sébastien Castan brews, cultivates, distills and ages his alcohols, including the Tarn whiskey called VILANOVA, in Villeneuve sur Vère.
An adventure initiated in 1941 by Gilbert Castan. For 3 generations, the Castan family has shared the passion for spirits, the experience of distillation, the rigor of production. The project to create a French whiskey started around Jacques Castan's still in 2010.
A new generation distillery was built in 2007 where the stills of the Castan family are housed.
The first distillery in Occitanie, VILANOVA Whiskeys are limited editions, with unique characteristics. Maison Castan is recognized for the quality of its spirits, tradition and the art of distillation. VILANOVA is a French whiskey brand recognized in France.
