Single Malt Whisky, France

After exploring Northern Ireland and Canada, the Ex Libris collection now drops its anchor off the coast of Brittany. In Pleubian, to be exact, where the Celtic Whisky Distillery produces two single malts, one unpeated (Glann Ar Mor) and the other peated to 50 ppm (Kornog), the latter found in this series at three different ages. With remarkable presence, this energetic bottling first steps out under the spell of an empyreumatic peat, before then becoming lighter and almost ethereal, in turn revealing a rock-solid minerality.
