Kornog is a French Single Malt Whisky produced by the Celtic Whisky Distillery in Brittany. Located in Pleubian, in the Côtes-d'Armor region, the distillery benefits from a maritime environment which enhances the aging of its whiskies in cellars situated near the sea.
Made from malted barley, Kornog is distinguished by the use of a heavily peated malt , containing approximately 50 ppm of phenols . It is distilled using traditional methods before being aged in ex-bourbon barrels .
Aging by the sea and working with peat are two essential elements of Kornog's identity. The name "Kornog," which means "West" or "west wind" in Breton, directly references the geographical and cultural roots of this single malt.
