Kornog 5 yo (58.5%, OB, for La Maison du Whisky, oloroso finish, 274 bottles, 2023) Four stars Bourbon, then oloroso. Remember Kornog is a proper peater, it's not some peaty in-cask blend. Colour: straw. Nose: a hint of burnt butter at first, then bicycle inner tube, mirabelle eau-de-vie, drops of bitters, nocino, amaro, flint… The 58.5% don't even really feel. Class young Kornog. With water: porridge with inside, a nip of.. young Kornog. Garden centre (where they store the clothing, watering cans, rubber boots, garden hose…) No peat monster. Mouth (neat): very punchy, very citric, pretty rubbery. A very distinctive style, you would almost call it a retsina of malt whisky. Quite. With water: more peat, limoncello, two cream eggs, salty fudge… Finish: rather long, still with these rubbery notes that I really enjoy. Otherwise salted lemons and just peat and pepper. Comments: rubber's absolutely not a flaw in this case. Rather loved this. Moderate olorosoness. SGP:467 July 27, 2024 - 87 points.
