Cuvée presentation

Offered by Warenghem distillerie
The Warenghem distillery has unveiled a unique bottle from cask no. 6023: the oldest whisky ever released by the distillery. An exceptional cuvée, bottled as a one-off and presented in a bottle adorned with a handwritten label, which bears witness to a particularly unique heritage and craftsmanship.
Bottled in December 2017 from batch no.1029 and dated March 2005, this whisky is crafted from the distillery’s historic distillate, which was made a few years before Jim Swan’s involvement. Made from French barley lightly peated to 10 ppm in the purest Speyside tradition of the 1980s, it underwent a six-day fermentation followed by double distillation in stills with upward-sloping swan necks.
Its maturation process tells a story of its own: two whiskies matured separately for 12 years in Lefloch Breton oak casks crafted in Douarnenez before being blended together. The resulting blend then continued to age for an additional nine years in second-fill American oak cask no. 6023. This vessel, previously a heavy Char 4 American oak cask, was originally filled new before being reused at the distillery.
After 21 years of maturation, cask no. 6023 yields a whisky deeply rooted in the history of the Warenghem distillery. It offers a rare testament to the distillery’s original style, blending French tradition, Speyside inspiration, and the influence of both Breton and American oak. Reserved for connoisseurs of rare spirits and serious collectors, this truly unique bottle marks a new chapter in the history of Armorik.

The distillery Warenghem

The Warenghem distillery was founded in 1900 in Lannion by Léon Warenghem, originally to produce the plant liqueur Elix d’‘Armorique. In 1919, Henri Warenghem took over from his father and expanded the range to include other liqueurs. Gilles Leizour then took over the distillery in 1981 and focused production on regional spirits like chouchen. He was also responsible for distillation of France’‘s first whisky (a blend) in 1983 and its release in 1987 under the name WB (Whisky Breton). In 1993 he built a whisky distillery based on Scottish production methods. Its first single malt was released in 1998 under the name Armorik.
