Ardbeg Corryvreckan - 70cl 57.1%

A replacement for the much-loved 1990 Airigh nam Beist, Ardbeg Corryvreckan had pretty big shoes to fill, but this Corryvreckan doesn't disappoin!

Ardbeg 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! Awarded The World’s Best Single Malt in 2010 by the World Whiskies Awards.

Nose: Buttery & creamy with herbs and a hint of pine.

Palate: The creamy aspect follows through onto the nose with tingling spices, fresh fruit, medicinal, clementines and orange peels.

Finish: Salty, more medicinal, smoked meats, peat, tarmac, chilli and salt.
