Powerfully peaty and immensely satisfying, Ardbeg's Corryvreckan is what happens when the distillery of Islay's Kildalton Coast aims to make a whisky with a particularly medicinal style than its usual expressions. Aptly named after a nearby whirlpool, Corryvreckan is an intense dram that we simply love.
Sticking plasters, buttery, creamy, roast chicken crisps, herbal, almost a hint of pine…
Cream, spices, tingling, fresh fruit, medicinal, plasters, Clementines. Orange peels.
Salty, more medicinal, smoked meats, peat is fleeting, tarmac, chilli, salt.
Astonishing.
Son suggested this amongst 3 options for his birthday present, and he was delighted that we chose this one. It was also delivered to me ahead of predicted time, so a win all round!
Ridiculously good
Picked up another bottle of this at duty free last week having finished the previous bottle over the course of about 18 months. The start of the first bottle was quite sharp, but by the end of it was absolutely sublime, sweet and smokey and very complex with all sorts of flavours coming through, nutmeg, burnt caramel, some blackberry and redcurrant. The best bottle of whisky I've ever had. The start of this new one is all tyre smoke and overly sweet. I've seen lots of reviews saying ardbeg are inconsistent but I've not experienced it until now. I added a drop of water to the first dram and it made it undrinkable. Left neat in the glass for 30 minutes and it drank like it was closer to 50 than 60abv. In short, I've no idea what's going on but if you like confusion then get yourself some.
Overpriced and,in my opinion,over rated. This is like a Willie Wonka chocolate bar.All flavors overwhelm,the dark fruit finish is,for me,unpleasant.For alot less you could enjoy Port Askaig 100%,Mactalla Mara,or for the price two bottles of Wee Beastie for the price of this.
This doesn't compare to the Uigeadail at all. It's got a severe alcohol bite, and don't know what this reviewer was drinking...but no peat at all. Unpleasant. The Uigeadail is currently my favorite single Malt; and this one is far inferior to it. Too bad.
