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!
Colour: | Rich Amber |
Nose: | Heady, intense and powerful. A collision of waxy dark chocolate, warm blackcurrants and muscovado sugar pull you under its spell with a burst of plump cherries and earthy pine needles leaping from its depths. |
Palate: | A mouthful of black tarry espresso coffee that coats the palate with rich melted dark fruits (blackcurrants, blueberries and cherries) and bitter almonds. |
Finish: | Long, deep and remaining powerful into the finish with black tarry coffee, chocolate coated cherries and hot pepper sauce. |
