Armorik Classic Single Malt Whisky [700ML]

Description

What makes a French whisky worthy of standing alongside Scotland’s finest single malts?

Armorik Classic represents a groundbreaking achievement in French whisky-making, crafted by Distillerie Warenghem as France’s first single malt whisky. This pioneering expression showcases double-distilled craftsmanship from Brittany’s coast, earning prestigious recognition including 93 points from Whisky Advocate. Unlike traditional Scottish expressions such as Benromach 10 Years, this French innovation offers a unique maritime influence that sets it apart from Asian single malts like Kavalan Oloroso.
