Ardbeg Corryvreckan

The Corryvreckan is in our Islay tasting pack.

Tony says: "I am a big fan of Ardbeg, especially the releases of whisky made under the new ownership. In my opinion this is a bit like the uigeadail, in that its a bit mental, but with the new cleaner style I prefer(i.e. without that dirty peatiness others love). My ranking of the recent releases (bearing in mind I love them all): Renaissance, Super Nova, Corryvreckan, rollercoaster."

Dominic Tasting notes: "Nose: Not a million miles away from the Kilchoman, successfully pulling off that very difficult feat of marrying fruity sweet wine notes with sharp, gristy and industrial Islay smoke. Palate: It bristles with intense Barolo or Rioja like red wine notes and intense acrid coal smoke. It's a brutal malt, brilliantly balanced but hard-edged and flinty. Quite stunning. Finish: Full and forever. It's been a while...but boy have I missed this!"

Pat's tasting notes: " Nose: Immediate thwack of carroway seed, currants, salt, wood glue, beautifully integrated with the peatsmoke. Taste: Creamy and smoky, mouth-filling dark bitter chocolate. Late wood. Intensely drying."
