Ardbeg Corryvreckan Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Corryvreckan takes its name from a famous tidal whirlpool that lies to the north of Islay. It was created with the input of the Ardbeg Committee; a group of 120,000 from all over the world that love the products of the distillery. Expect an intense nose of cedar, brine, creosote, with caramel, smoky bacon, vanilla and clove. Very complex aromas. The palate is also intense but it is round and finely balanced with outstanding length. The lingering finish shows smoky black tarry coffee with chocolate. Not for the fainthearted. Score – 94.
