Release Notes
This is the traditional bottling of Kornog at 46% from Bourbon barrels without chill filtering nor caramel colouring as always with us. The peat and the maritime character mingle in a surprising complexity. Kornog is the peated expression (40 PPM of phenols) of Glann ar Mor Distillery, beside Glann ar Mor itself which is the un-peated expression.

Glann ar Mor was created in 1997 by Celtic Whisky Compagnie, with the first single malt whisky produced in December 1999. In its present form, Glann ar Mor has been operational since June 2005, bottling its first unpeated single malt in late 2008. In November 2009, the first peated single malt (about 30-35 ppm of phenol) was sold under the brand of Kornog ("West Wind" in Breton). The distillery is located on the seafront (Glann ar Mor means "At the edge of the sea" in Breton). Bottles feature the Héaux de Bréhat Lighthouse.

Jean-Sébastien Robicquet is the founder of Maison Villevert, named for a 16th century manor house in the Charente region in south-west France which is now the company’s headquarters. Maison Villevert’s creations have become a benchmark in the world of premium spirits. With considerable savoir-faire, Maison Villevert creates, produces and packages innovative spirits that reflect the French art de vivre.
Previously, there was no company in the Charente with such a broad skill set and portfolio – creating, producing, packaging and distributing an array of spirits including gin, vodka, tequila, vermouth, liqueurs and cognac.
The story began back in the early 2000s. The new century lent impetus (and new ideas) to Jean-Sébastien Robicquet who built on his career in wines and spirits to create a start-up company. In 2001, Diageo, global leader in spirits, was keen to create a new vodka… French, premium, exceptional, unusual and with a unique taste experience. The group approached Jean-Sébastien Robicquet who had the imagination and the know-how to create the first French grape-based vodka. And this is how Cîroc came into being. Launched in the US in 2003 and championed by two brand ambassadors – American performer Sean John Combs and Jean-Sébastien Robicquet – Cîroc rapidly became one of the top 10 most prestigious brands in the world.
