Glann Ar Mor, Breton Single Malt Whisky (France) 
Glann Ar Mor is distilled on the northern coast of Brittany, using very traditional methods. These include the employment of wooden washbacks, stills heated by live flames, and condensation via worm tubs. The resulting spirit is matured by the coast.
The distillery was established in 1999 by Jean Donnay, and the first official bottling - of a three-year-old expression - took place in 2008. It offers a very fresh and fruity nose, with pear drops and peaches. Vanilla fudge notes emerge with water. The fruitiness follows through on the medium-bodied palate, with a tang of yeast, plenty of spice and youthful oak. Spice lingers in the medium, slightly nutty finish. Sweeter and even more drinkable with the addition of a little water. 46.0% ABV, 70cl, £54.95, specialist whisky merchants.  |  |
