Glann Ar Mor Kornog Oloroso Finish 700ml

Bourbon casks are the norm at Glann ar Mor, so this Oloroso Sherry finish is something of a novelty. The peat has a mezcal-like edge, in this case there's opening suggestions of vinyl and varnish, mingling with vaguely green notes (white pepper, dried grass). Aeration accents the sweet barley as honey, boiled confectionary, marzipan. The peat is more definitive in the mouth, infusing flavours of toasted fruit cake. Green-wood smoke and a slightly grassy bitter-sweetness trail off in the finish. Always engaging, this distillery has established a distinctive style early on. Non chill filtered.
