Product description
Corryvreckan is the name of a powerful whirlpool located north of the islands of Jura and Scarba, creating waves up to 10 m high.
Few tried to swim there, and most of the brave ones ended up quickly in the arms of Poseidon (the lucky one who resisted the element was George Orwell, author of the novels "Animal Farm" and "1984"). Ardbeg Corryvreckan replaced the excellent version of Airigh Nam Beist in 2008 and is still included in the basic offer. The whisky is aged in bourbon barrels and French oak barrels. Despite the high alcohol content (57.1%), we suggest not adding water to the whisky, let's sip it slowly to feel the abyss of Corryvreckan.
Aroma: strong and intense, hospital and peaty, with traces of herbs, resin, cigar ash and sweet vanilla, toffee and oak in the background.
Taste: rich and spicy, but with a good dose of fresh fruit, peat, iodine, bitter almonds, orange peel and a hint of vanilla.
Finish: long and rich, hospital, lots of peat and spicy spices, smoked meat, sea salt, a delicate citrus note.
