Kornog Taouarc’h Kentan 14 BC

If you cannot wait for Jean Donnay to start distilling at Gartbreck on Islay console yourself with this Celtic whisky made by the sea with malt peated to 35-40 ppm. The nose has hard dry peat cold charred logs and heather twigs but enough creamy sweetness to keep it buoyant. It shimmers and twists on the tongue showing shades of light and dark. Nuts treacle licorice and raisins emerge though the structure shows its youth. Dry sooty finish. €60
