This is a fairly generic whisky from Armorik. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it does not excite either. Given the price point, it’s a decent daily driver. I’ve got nothing more to report on this except that I’ve heard some very good things on their higher strength single casks. So this won’t be my last Armorik…
