Armorik 15 Year Old 2022 Edition Single Malt Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a French single malt that challenges everything you thought you knew about whisky geography?

The Armorik 15 Year Old 2022 Edition represents a remarkable achievement from Brittany’s pioneering Glann ar Mor distillery, standing as one of France’s first 15-year-old single malts. This limited edition of just 1,500 bottles annually showcases the maritime character that makes Breton whisky so distinctive. While Scotland dominates the single malt conversation, expressions like this prove that terroir extends beyond traditional boundaries – much like how Kavalan’s Oloroso Sherry Oak redefined Taiwanese whisky or The Dalmore 21 Years exemplifies Highland excellence.

• Distillery: Glann ar Mor (Armorik) – Brittany’s maritime whisky pioneer since 1999
• Region: Brittany, France – coastal influence brings unique salinity and complexity
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for showcasing delicate French oak nuances
• Volume: 700ml

• Best Served: Neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature, or with a splash of filtered water
