Ardbeg Corryvreckan

Challenging scotch that grows on you. The flavors continue to evolve with each sip. Very hot with high alcohol

Smells like smoked dark fruits, maybe burnt raisins, bit of bacon, bandaids, and sea air. Dark fruit and white pepper on the palate, a hint of blackberry comes later. Water brings out citrus note on nose. Peat gets a little medicinal on the finish. But it all works so well together. Not a casual sipper; complex and thought provoking. To date this is the most complex scotch whisky I’ve had and probably my favorite.

The nose is spiky and smoky, with hints of pepper. The mouth is full of bacon, peat, sea salt and more pepper. The finish lingers in sweet peat. It is an excellent scotch, a better version of the very good Ardbeg 10 yrs.
