Distillery Information

Pioneers of French whisky, Armorik is one of the standout names in the countrys thriving scene and a leading light of the world whisky category. Every drop of Armorik whisky is mashed, fermented, distilled, aged and bottled at the brands distillery, where a fruity spirit that reflects terroir is created and presented with natural colour. But this proudly Breton single malt is a relatively recent chapter of the distillerys history. It dates back to 1900 when the Warenghem family moved from northern France to the pink granite coast of Lannion, Breton. There Lon Warenghem founded a distillery which initially specialised in the production of fruit and plant liqueurs and creams. Elixir d’Armorique, the inaugural product, was a huge success, kickstarting the business. In 1967, Paul-Henri, the latest generation of Warenghems, joined forces with Yves Leizour to diversify the range and by 1974 they had moved the distillery from the town centre to the outskirts of Lannion. In the early 80s, Gilles Leizour, a trained pharmacist, succeeded his father and decided to take the big gamble that truly revolutionised the Warenghem Distillery.
