Ardbeg Corryvreckan

Today three of the best I ever tasted shal be tasted side by side. The Corryvreckan, the Ardbeg 10, and the Glenlivet Nadurra. I added a lot highland wellwater to the strong ones, and a little water to the Ardbeg 10. First nose at the Corryvreckan is a bit yeasty, The 10 a bit etanolish,The Nadurra fresh oak, and maybe some tiny menthol. More vanilla.Now more peat comes from the Corry, and also from the 10. The Ardbegs smells a lot better after a couple minutes in the glass. The Ten is more marshy than the corry, which has more oak than the 10. THe bad yeasty and etanolish starts from the ardbegs has dissapeared. Perfect scent now. The Nadurra on the tounge. Very round and soft. The 10 is thinner on the tounge, the Corry is soft too, with some oaktaste, some vanilla,some marshy scent. I might have missed on the 10, and added to much water. It was the last drops from thebottle, so it cannot be fixed. The Ardbeg 10 wins the noserace. I like that marshy peaty nose very good. I think the corry is the richest with most complexity. The difference between the 10 and the corry was a lot bigger than I pre-guessed. All three are very fine whiskys. The cost at vinmonopolet is 850 Nok for the Corry, 570 for the 10 anf 609 for the Nadurra. The ten is diluted, so it is less taste for the money, making its value in the middle of these three. The nadurra is definitively the best buy. I think they all are very good, and that I later will buy them all again. It is nice that they are different. The fresh oakvanilla Nadurra is very different from the marshy peat Ardbeg 10. The Corry is a bit more complex and mainstream than the ten, taking a small step in the Lagavullin 16 direction. Three fantastic drams that are among my absolute favourites.
