Ardbeg Corryvreckan
The Tasting Notes
Heady, intense and powerful. Tarry ropes, creosote and linseed oil. Waxy dark chocolate, warm blackcurrants and muscovado sugar. Plump cherries, pine needles, salty seasoning, tangy crisp seaweed, smoky bacon, sweet vanilla, spicy cloves and blueberries.
eep, peppery and chewy, bombarding the tongue. The first plunge brings forth chewy peppered steak soaked in pepper sauce with the tang of crispy seaweed. Black tarry espresso coffee, rich melted dark fruits, bitter almonds, star anise and hickory.
Long, deep and remaining powerful into the finish with black tarry coffee, chocolate coated cherries and hot pepper sauce, the lingering memories of your mysterious and daring journey into Corryvreckan.
Details
In a league of its own
Man the lifeboats, Here comes the second wave of this deliciously deep, powerfully peaty and wonderfully wild whisky.
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. Its briny character of crisp seaweed, sweet vanilla and rich, dark melted fruits draws you into a long deep finish. Like the whirlpool itself, Corryvreckan is not for the faint hearted. 70cl, 57.1%ABV
From Ardbeg Distillery
