Ardbeg Corryvreckan

Smokey, slightly oily.

Complex is all I can say

One of my favourites. Intense smoke intermingled with sweet malt, orange and herbs. Salty enough to perhaps be made with the saltwater from Corryvreckan itself.

Ah, the much-beloved aroma that wafts out of this bottle after opening. In the glass, I find the nose on Corryvreckan doesn’t do the strength that simmers beneath justice. Smoked briquettes, sweet fruit, and seaweed. At full strength on the palate, it’s rich, intense, masterful, and delicious. Chargrilled meats, boldly roasted coffee grounds, sweet and tangy cherries, and pepper. The finish seems everlasting...just when you think it’s ending, it’s reveals something new. Ridiculously smooth and drinkable at 114 proof, but it can benefit from the addition of water too. Just remember, no swimming. 4.5 ~ 95 ~ Exceptional
