The origins of Armorik Whisky
The history of Armorik Whisky began in 1900, when the Warenghem distillery was founded by Leon Warenghem in Lannion, Brittany. Originally known for producing liqueurs and brandies, the distillery began producing whisky in the 1980s. Armorik, the first single malt whisky from Brittany, was launched in 1998 and has since made a name for itself with its high-quality and unique whiskies.
