    Overview

    Ardbeg Corryvreckan

     
    Deepest amber in colour. Heady, intense and powerful aromas. Swirl the glass and dip your nose into torrents of tarry ropes and creosote.  As you succumb to its power, a collision of waxy dark chocolate, blackcurrants and muscovado sugar, followed by a burst of plump cherries and earthy pine needles. 

    With water, cayenne peppered steak surfaces with smoky bacon, cloves and blueberries.  A heady force of treacle, menthol and chilli sauce.           
    The first plunge is deep, peppery and chewy with crispy seaweed. As you descend deeper, a mouthful of espresso coffee that coats the palate with rich melted dark fruits (blackcurrants, blueberries and cherries) and star anise. 

    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. 

    ABV: 57.1%

    Background Information:
    Established in 1815, Ardbeg is the "Ultimate Islay Malt Whisky", revered by connoisseurs around the world as the peatiest, smokiest and most complex of all the Islay malts widely available. 

    It boasts a true complexity, balancing smoky peatiness and intriguing sweetness, a phenomenon that has affectionately become known as "the peaty paradox".

    Ardbeg has made it a double by winning 'World Whisky of the Year 2009', following the  triumph of Ardberg 10 Year Old  of the same accolade in 2008. Awarded by Jim Murray in his latest edition of the Whisky Bible, Ardbeg is the first Single Malt whisky ever to have won this prestigious accolade, now twice.
