Ardbeg Corryvreckan

Just opening the top on this nearly singed my eyebrows from the smoke off this dram. Very hot, but honestly doesn’t really develop with the addition of a couple drops. As my palette gets adjusted I get loads of ash spot, but also a bit of saltiness and brininess on the tongue. The last few drops of my pint reveal a little vanilla from the bourbon cask aging, and actually went quite well with chips and salsa. Only worth a 3 though because the overwhelming heat, peat and ABV (57.1%!) coupled with the price just doesn’t make it worth it at all for me. Only for the most diehard of peat fanatics. Worth a shot for the 50ml, though, if you want to burn your eyebrows, and your mouth for a bit.
