Armorik Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky [700ML]

Description

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

Armorik Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky represents Brittany’s remarkable entry into premium whisky crafting, produced by the century-old Distillerie Warenghem using organically grown French barley. This exceptional expression showcases full maturation in Oloroso sherry casks, creating a distinctive profile that rivals established sherry-finished expressions like Kavalan’s Oloroso Sherry Oak and Bushmills Sherry Cask Reserve.
