Celtic Whisky Distillerie Kornog Peated Single Malt French Whisky 2005 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber, glowing with honeyed warmth and coppery flashes that shimmer in the glass.

Nose

Aromas of peat smoke and maritime brine rise from the glass, tempered by vanilla and caramel from bourbon cask aging. Toasted oak, lemon zest and a hint of honeyed orchard fruit lend brightness, while seaweed, iodine, and a trace of charred wood weave a coastal, smoky depth.

Palate

Brisk coastal peat opens the palate with smoky, medicinal notes that mingle with bourbon vanilla and toasted oak. Rich caramel and subtle spice unfold to balance the wave of salt and citrus zest, finishing long with a gentle, lingering smoke.

Finish

Long maritime finish with smoked peat lingering over vanilla-bourbon sweetness. Bourbon cask imparts caramel and toasted oak that weave through the smoke, while a whisper of sea salt and mineral coastiness lingers, fading to a clean, resinous finish with a final echo of peat.
