Ardbeg Corryvreckan Single Malt Scotch

Product Highlights

Named after the treacherous whirlpool north of Islay, Ardbeg Corryvreckan embodies untamed intensity and complexity. This award-winning single malt captivates with a powerful collision of peat, smoke, and dark fruit—tarry espresso and blackcurrant depths give way to surprising notes of vanilla, seaweed, and spice. Bold and uncompromising on the palate, it delivers layers of peppered richness that linger long into the finish. On the nose, heady aromas of creosote and linseed oil emerge alongside waxy dark chocolate, warm blackcurrants, and muscovado sugar, punctuated by briny seaweed and hints of sweet vanilla with spicy cloves. The first taste brings forth chewy peppered steak and crispy seaweed, descending into black tarry espresso coffee that coats the palate with rich melted dark fruits and bitter almonds. As the complexity unfolds, star anise and hickory dry the palate before chalky effervescent violets fizz to the surface, creating an intriguing interplay of flavors. The finish remains long, deep, and powerfully persistent, with lingering memories of black tarry coffee, chocolate-coated cherries, and hot pepper sauce. A dram for those who embrace adventure and appreciate the raw, magnificent character of Islay's most fearless expression. Winner of The World's Best Single Malt, 2010.
