Ardbeg Corryvreckan Single Malt Scotch

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 note:
Nose: Vanilla sweetness, cigarette smoke, burnt toast, burning plastic, sea breeze salinity⁣

Taste: Dominated by virgin oak influence that seems way too overpowering. Very dry and spicy. Dried herbs, peppery spice, burning plastic wires covered in tar.

Finish: Long. Dry, bitter, ashy, oaky. Like sucking on some bitter burned oak. Somewhat unpleasant actually.⁣
