Ardbeg Corryvreckan

Ardbeg is revered across the whisky world as The Ultimate Islay Malt.

Ardbeg is the peatiest, smokiest yet most balanced of all the Islay malts. Ardbeg isn’t a one dimensional peaty malt. Rather, Ardbeg balances smokiness with sweetness to provide a wider complexity of taste.

Corryvreckan takes its name from the famous whirlpool that lies to the north of Islay, where only the bravest souls dare to venture. Swirling aromas and torrents of deep, peaty, peppery taste lurk beneath the surface of this beautifully balanced dram. Like the whirlpool itself, Corryvreckan is not for the faint-hearted! Non chill-filtered at 57.1% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

Heady, intense and powerful. Dip your nose into the torrents of tarry ropes, creosote and linseed oil rising from deep within the vortex.

A collision of waxy dark chocolate, warm blackcurrants and muscovado sugar pulls you under its spell with a burst of plump cherries and earthy pine needles leaping from its depths

The first plunge brings forth chewy peppered steak soaked in pepper sauce with the tang of crispy seaweed.

As you descend deeper, encounter a mouthful of black tarry espresso coffee that coats the palate with rich melted dark fruits and bitter almonds.
