Product Detail

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.​

TASTING NOTES

Appearance: A deep, rich amber

Aroma: Tarry ropes, creosote and linseed oil are followed by a burst of dark chocolate, blackcurrants and muscovado sugar.

Taste: Deep and chewy, with notes of peppered steak. Tangy, crispy seaweed flavours are followed by tarry espresso that coats the palate with rich, melted dark fruits. At the finish, chalky violets fizz to the surface.

PERFECT SERVE

Enjoy neat, with a little water or 2-3 large rocks of ice.

ORIGIN

Islay, Scotland. Founded in 1815, the Ardbeg distillery is revered by connoisseurs around the world as the peatiest, smokiest and most complex of all the Islay malts, while being renowned for its delicious sweetness, a phenomenon known as “the peaty paradox”. Regarded today as the “Ultimate Islay Malt”, Ardbeg is a distinctive whisky with a compelling history. During the 1980s and 1990s, Ardbeg suffered from an uncertain future and was purchased by The Glenmorangie Company in 1997. Since then, the distillery has risen like a phoenix and today Ardbeg is well established as a niche, cult malt, with a passionate following.
