Warenghem Whisky

From fruit liqueur to Brittany's first whisky - the Warenghem family's journey began in 1900 and culminated in 1987 with the first Breton whisky ever made. The family moved from northern France to Lannion and slowly built a legacy that today stretches from Elixir d'Armorique to the acclaimed single malt Armorik. Still family-run, still Breton at heart.

  • Bottle of Armorik 10 Ans Edition from the Breton distillery Warenghem
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197124 - 2021

    Ten years is a short time in the whisky world, but for a still-young French distillery, it's a milestone that deserves its own bottle.

    Expert's description

    Armorik 10 Ans Edition 2022 is a Single Breton Malt Whisky from the Warenghem distillery, bottled at 46 percent.

    The whisky is made from Breton barley and French wheat and has matured for 10 years in oak casks. 2,000 bottles were filled of this release, which is non-chill filtered, and the extended cask time gives the whisky a complexity that clearly sets it apart from the house's younger bottlings.

    Warenghem has been distilling in Brittany since the early 1900s and helped pave the way for French whisky to be taken seriously far beyond France's borders. Armorik 10 Ans is clear proof that years in cask give direction to a style still young in the wider whisky world.

About Warenghem Whisky

Warenghem is the distillery that put Brittany on the whisky map. For newcomers, Armorik is an accessible, lightly fruity French single malt; for connoisseurs, the very pioneer that in 1987 created WB - the first Breton and French whisky ever - paving the way for the entire French whisky scene that has grown since.

History & Background

Léon Warenghem founded the distillery in 1900, when the family moved from northern France to Lannion in Brittany, initially specializing in fruit and herbal liqueurs. Its first major hit, Elixir d'Armorique, gave the company financial footing. The real turning point came in 1987, when Warenghem created the WB blend - the first Breton and French whisky - followed in 1998 by Armorik, the first Breton single malt. The distillery only began exporting globally in 2010, but remains family-run to this day.

Production & Style

The whisky is distilled from grain and aged in oak casks in Brittany's Atlantic climate, giving a smooth, maritime character.

Signature Style

Smooth, Fruity, Maritime
The flavor offers a smooth, fruity character with a hint of Brittany's maritime climate.
