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.

It is brilliant, fantastic flavours, really good aftertaste, long lasting in the mouth. I just love it. Would like to drink it everyday but reality kicks in and I have to be gentle with it.
First impression:Solid. Hint of fruits (citrus?). Less peaty nose than expected. Taste: Power. Salty, peaty and sooo smooth.
Absolutely marvellous just the job with a couple of ice cubs , only negative I was just going to order some more and it's out of stock hope it will be back soon.
Definitely a fan. Seems to be experienced wildly differently by individuals. You've got to try for yourself and see. I love the fire that doesn't burn, the eucalyptus and the sweetness that isn't saccharine. Full and thick in the mouth, no thin spirit here.
Of all the Ardbeg offerings,that are currently available at least,this has been my favorite. That is until I tried Dark Cove. I would give Corry 4 stars and the Cove 5 now. Either way both great drams and a "must try".
