Cortoisie Single Malt

This whisky is pale lemon with nice limpidity. The first nose is powerful with empyreumatic notes and especially toasted, smoke and burnt. There is some peat present. It is a whisky with a strong character. Behind, we guess fruits and in particular citrus fruits such as lemon and citron. We also have licorice, mint and mushrooms. The attack is very smoky. We find a roundness that accompanies notes of fruit such as orange, cherry stone and reine claude plum (greengage plum). We have cream and a magnificent, intense peat. The finish has a refreshing hint of bitterness. The whole is minty and always very smoky. Very nice whisky to taste with dark chocolate as a treat.
