Kornog8-year-old

Kornog 8-year-old is a French single malt whisky matured in a first-fill bourbon barrel and bottled from a single cask at cask strength. For a new drinker, that usually means a more individual bottling with fuller texture and a stronger, more concentrated style.

Kornog is widely associated with peated single malt, so this release is likely to show noticeable smoky character alongside vanilla and oak influence from the bourbon cask. The 58.4% strength suggests it may benefit from a little water to open up the aromas and soften the palate.
