Kimchangsoo is a whiskey brand based in Tottori, South Korea. While the exact year of establishment is not widely documented, the brand has gained recognition for its unique approach to whiskey production in a region not traditionally known for this spirit.
A magnificent alliance of peat and amontillado delivers burnt rubber, old walnuts, leather, tobacco, seaweed, fresh ashes and an explosion of pepper.
An extremely fine nose leads to a superb palate of chocolate, pepper, walnuts, bitters and amaro, with a long, subtly strawberry-touched finish.
It’s got the peated nose that I don’t love, but the palette is great.
