Armorik 15 years old – Single Malt Breton Whisky

 A few years after the launch of its Armorik 10 yo, the distillery reveals a little more of the numerous possibilities offered by the several thousand casks stored in Lannion, Bretagne.

Being the first permanent 15 years old French Whisky and offered in a limited edition of 1500 bottles every year, this Armorik 15 yo becomes the 2nd bottling of the range with an age statement. It attests to our expertise and knowhow about maturation, for over 20 years.

This Armorik 15 years old has been matured for 9 years in Bourbon casks and transferred to Sherry Oloroso casks for 6 more years. “Armorik 15 years old has acquired with age a sort of elegant, aromatic fullness, while retaining the fruity freshness characteristic of our distillate.”

Bottled at 46%, un-chillfiltered and natural color, it will be sold in France by La Maison du Whisky at around 95 EUR (all taxes included).
