Bordeaux distillery producing whiskies, gin and rum distilled on site, and offering tours with tastings.
Producing a 100% Bordeaux whisky in the wine capital of France was a daring move! The distillery took shape in 2017 in a former bunker when Jean-Philippe Ballanger created the Moon Harbour brand in a nod to the port of the Moon. It produces a range of unique whiskies distilled on a Bordeaux still and aged in barrels from Bordeaux grands crus bottled on site. The latest addition, Dock 3, is smoked with seaweed from the Arcachon basin and aged in Château La Louvière barrels. An incredibly aromatic gin and an amber rum complete the range.

Owner's Message
Today the distillery produces a range of unique whiskies distilled in a Bordeaux still and matured in Bordeaux barrels from great growths. Our favorite, the latest DOCK 3 smoked with seaweed from the Arcachon basin, is matured in barrels from Château Pipeau. A superb gin, with incredible aromatics and distilled on site, completes the range.

Actividad amena y curiosa dado el entorno en el que han montado la destilería con la dificultad de construcción y el cambio en el uso del edificio.
Degustación de tres variedades de whisky y una ginebra. Sientan bien y buena calidad de destilado.
Normal d’avoir envie de les casser . Ça ne demande aucun frais de leur part pour nous montrer cette cuve . En plus, nous aurions acheté des bouteilles car on était aussi venu pour ça . On a bien eu les « boules » et très
« Colère »
Merci à toute l’équipe :)
Nous reviendrons !
