ARMORIK 15-Year-Old Edition 2024 46%
Discover the exceptional Armorik 15-Year-Old, the oldest single malt from the Breton distillery Warenghem to date. This outstanding French whisky first aged for 9 years in bourbon casks, followed by an additional 6 years in Oloroso sherry casks. It offers an impressive aromatic richness, unveiling notes of juicy pear, banana, and perfectly ripe mango, enhanced by peppery spices, clove, and cinnamon. Bottled at 46%, it is non-chill filtered and free of added coloring.
This exquisite elixir is available in a limited edition, with only 1500 bottles produced.
Nose: Rich and intense, with ripe exotic fruits, hints of rancio, polished wood, and indulgent notes of honey, caramel, and dried apricot. A subtle touch of cumin and peat towards the end.
Palate: Balanced between liveliness and sweetness, starting with fresh fruits (pear, banana) and transitioning into the sweetness of honeyed candies and ripe exotic fruits like mango. Peppery and spicy notes of cloves and cinnamon elevate the profile.
Finish: Very long and warming, shifting between spices (cinnamon and pepper) and lightly smoky nuances, concluding with a sweet note of peach jam.
THE BRAND
Armorik was born in Brittany at the Warenghem Distillery. Founded in Lannion in the Côtes d'Armor, on the Côte de Granit Rose, the independent and family distillery for over 100 years produces a single malt Breton whisky, produced from French barley, the distillery’s spring water and distillation in two traditional stills.
The Armorik Single Malt 15-Year-Old Edition 2024 is the result of the exceptional craftsmanship of master blender Erwan Lefebvre. This blend is a true work of art, capturing the essence of whiskies aged 15 years and older, sourced from a variety of cask maturations, including bourbon, STR Vinho, sherry refill, and first-fill Spanish oak. Each cask has harmoniously interacted, contributing to a unique blend where the whole exceeds the sum of its parts.
This whisky, shaped by time, reveals the signature fruity character of Armorik, enhanced with an extra touch of exoticism, offering richer, more confit aromas. With remarkable smoothness, it unveils buttery notes that intertwine with delicate spices and smoky undertones.
