Kornog is the peated whisky distilled at Glann Ar Mor distillery in France. Its gotten a lot of praise the last few years. The color is pale golden. It smells spirity, some malty notes, a bit of peat, some paint thinner and spirit markers. Some coastal aromas of salt and brine. The taste is phenolic, peaty, briny, brick dust, ashes, burnt oak. It seems to me a bit raw, a bit like some of those CS youngsters from Kilchoman that needed a year or two more on wood. Let's add some water. Now it turns a bit sweeter, more citric notes, lemons, unripe kiwis, peat, salty, fresh lime, briny, much easier to see the Islay reference often used to describe this whisky now, that its been diluted. The finish is briny, peaty and longlasting.
Water provides a welcomed twist to this youngster: 7
