Armorik Sherry Finish Single Malt

I wanted to drink some French whiskey while in France. Armorik was one brand which I had sought out, but was a little difficult to find. Cinnamon raisins and vanilla on the nose gives a hint of gingerbread. Palate is peppery and warm with a pleasant mouthfeel. The finish is where this whiskey shines. At 46% it lingers and brings flavors of nuts, candied oranges, chocolate and pepper. It’s difficult to get all the flavors this has to offer from a disposable hotel cup.

cough syrup sweetness with an underlying bitterness and slight spiciness. the cork on this bottle is really loose and I don't know if it has affected the flavour on this

Very pleasant. Nice sherry, very balanced but still interesting. Pleasant mouthfeel. Not overlong, but nice finish.

Strong notes, not a distinct sherry finish

Viva la France! My first French whiskey ( you never forget your first, right?). Courtesy of Richard. This I believe comes from Breton, where the dialect is distinctly non-typical French and the distance to the U.K. is a mere tunnel ride. It's also where crepes were invented, so there you go---this already looks promising. Aromas of hazelnuts and raisins. Palette is more nuts and dark berries, almost Christmas-y spices. I wish this had more time to age---I'm going to be a buyer of this at a mature age statement. Thanks Richard!
