Armorik 18 Year Old, the Essence of Breton Know-How:
In keeping with its commitment to excellence and authenticity, the Warenghem distillery proudly unveils the new vintage of its iconic range: Armorik 18 Year Old. This exceptional single malt embodies the culmination of decades of passion, patience, and rigor, fueled by a constant quest for quality.
Made in accordance with artisanal traditions, Armorik 18 Year Old draws its richness from the unique climate of the Breton coast. Variations in the sea air, constant humidity, and coastal winds subtly influence the aging of the whisky, giving it a unique sensory imprint, a reflection of its terroir.
The expression of mastered expertise:
This new chapter in Armorik's history is the work of Cellar Master Erwan Lefebvre, who presents here his very first blend for a whisky of this age. With great sensitivity and an intimate knowledge of the casks, he has crafted a remarkably balanced single malt.
The Armorik 18 Year Old is the result of a careful blend of Sauternes casks—bringing roundness, sweetness, and notes of candied fruit—and Oloroso Sherry casks, which enrich the profile with deep aromas of dried fruit, sweet spices, and precious wood. This subtle blend produces a whisky that is generous, structured, and warm, revealing all the complexity of a long-aged spirit.
An exceptional tasting:
From the very first notes, the nose seduces with its richness: aromas of fig, dried apricot, honey, and gingerbread intertwine with woody touches and a hint of salt reminiscent of the sea air of Brittany. On the palate, the attack is silky and full, driven by flavors of ripe fruit, caramel, and hazelnut, supported by an elegantly spicy undertone. The long and persistent finish leaves an impression of warmth, harmony, and depth.
With Armorik 18 Year Old, the Warenghem distillery asserts more than ever its pioneering position in the world of French whisky, offering an exceptional vintage that is both faithful to its roots and resolutely forward-looking.
