Kornog Peated Single Malt Whisky

Nose - Sweet gentle smoke, sweet pine sap?, charcoal/ashy, gentle raw grain husks Taste - Gentle sweet smoke, hint of cannabis, pine tree syrup sweet, gentle ash, wisp of lemon, black pepper on tail end Finish - Black pepper lingers, ash, gentle generic metallic syrupy sweet, cannabis infused simple returns Score - 72/100 Final Thoughts - This was a very strange one in that the gentle sweet smoke was very prevalent when the glass was a few feet from my nose, but when I got up close, it wasn't quite as strong. Very unassuming on the nose and smelled a bit like a Caol Ila on the nose, but then it hit the palate and was nothing like anything I'd had previously. This had a very generic grain / pine tree sap vibe to it. The palate was interesting but I'm not sure I was the biggest fan. The flavors seemed to be very conflicting and although I can see some people enjoying this, it felt really off-balance and a bit thin. Would I drink it if offered? - Maybe Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.

16 mars 2025 - Nancy Snooz - 5h Robe claire , trop claire ... Je me méfie des jupettes qui laissent voir à travers leur intimité de façon trop abrupte Nez tourbé et boisé ! Violemment tourbé même ! Aurais-je trouvé de quoi finir cette magnifique soirée en beauté ?? 1ere bouche claire et désaltérante, comme de l'eau de roche , une deuxième bouche légèrement pimentée et alcoolisée ET LÀ ! ENFIN ! Une magnifique 3ème bouche tourbée et violemment boisé, il est délicieux !!! Voilà de quoi finir cette magnifique soirée en beauté ! Mon comparse de frasque et moi-même, après avoir rincé ces messieurs Luxembourgeois au poker, nous sommes engouffrés dans la nuit afin de découvrir ce qu'elle avait à nous offrir ! Butin en poche, une bouteille de cognac dans le cornet, il ne manquait plus que la découverte d'un beau whisky tourbé pour magnifier la soirée ! Encore faut-il que mon fieffé compagnon apprenne à serrer l'âme des anges ... La nuit est loin d'être finie ...

Smoke on a budget that doesn't taste like your grandpa's car ash tray is always welcome. Yeah, it's not Laphroaig Cask Strength or Bowmore Devil's, but a peaty beast from France deserves some credit. It's smoky and drinkable, and if you can get it for a good price, there are worse drams.

Delicate peat, very sweet and apricots. Very good French buddy

Quite good and sippable.
