The long-awaited peated French single malt from Brittany's Glann-ar-Mor distillery has arrived. The Scottish malted barley used to make Kornog has been peated to around 35pmm, meaning it should be pretty smoky. This is the third release of Kornog and has been bottled from a single ex-bourbon barrel.
