ABOUT THIS WORLD SERIES BOTTLING
As France’s first EVER whisky distillery, Armorik married traditional scotch production with a few years of experimentation. Then, they reached out to Dr Jim Swan who reviewed their equipment and techniques, proposing a series of small changes like adjusting the angle of the lyne arm.
Matured in a unique & delicious Breton Oak cask. The oak grown is in the local area of Brittany (represented on the label by a cooper constructing a cask). This is essentially a virgin oak cask, charred before usage.
We love seeing innovation like this in the whisky world, especially when it tastes this damn good.
Nose
Sweet char, vanilla, nuts & fresh wholemeal bread.
Palate
Gentle spice & cereal join the baked characteristics. Hints of yellow plum arrive.
About the Label
The Veneti (Gaulish: "the kin, the friendly ones") were a Gallic tribe who lived in Armorica, now known as Brittany. We’ve set the scene deep in the forest of Gaul with a still for the cauldron and fields of barley in the background. The white swan is a nod to the late Dr. Jim Swan who gave the distillery guidance, reviewing their equipment, and techniques, proposing a series of small changes.
