From Warenghem Distillery in Brittany, France. The Armorik Yeun Elez Single Malt Breton Peated is a Peated Breton Single Malt Whisky (see how I changed the order of these words to make myself sound smart?), distilled from peated malted barley imported from Scotland with a spec of 50ppm. Sadly, we only managed to get 50ml bottles of this limited release, not the full size.

Producer Note

"Launched in September 2020, Yeun Elez is the result of the distillery’s foray into peated territories. We offer you a peated variation of our Armorik single malt : we use Scottish 50 ppm peated malted barley, water from our own source and our artisanal know-how. Breton Single Malt whisky, it has been distilled and matured to highlights its delicate, elegant, and fruity peat."

This French single malt from the Breton region is distilled by Warenghem Distillery, which has been distilling since 1900. Warenghem Distillery's whisky - including this single malt which is from ex-bourbon casks aged for four to eight years and then bottled at 46% - have been well reviewed.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: creamy, honyed, peppery and grassy with white orchard fruits like browing green and candied apples.

Palate: very creamy with loads of toasted oak, unsweetened vanilla, and grassy goat cheese; there is a savoury character and some notes of black pepper too.

Finish: drying and toasty with some creamy notes.
