Since the late nineteenth century, the members of the Roque family have carried on, from father to son, the tradition of distilling.
In 1905, Louis, the third of five generations, decided to start his own distillery in Souillac on the site of an ancient convent. Souillac is in the heart of the Quercy, not far from the Cahors wine appellation, an area rich in gastronomic delights.
Evolving into the local specialist on plum brandy, Louis Roque kept his production in oak casks where the spirit aged slowly, under his close supervision. Today, the company is still family owned and operated under the direction of the fifth generation.

Pairings: Roast pork, baked brie, bread pudding
Serving Suggestions: Neat
