Customer Rating

“One of Ardbegs most peated whiskies. Great taste if you are into the smoky style. You may want to add a drop of water for the first glass to get used to it. Perfect holiday drink.”

Ardbeg Corryvreckan

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.

Nicely put

I'm still in love with the Uigadail - but I might go for the second bottle as you say, and appreciate it for what it is. I do agree re your Laphroaig comments!

Get a second bottle

I was initially unimpressed after having been 'wowed' completely by the Uigeadail, but a second bottle turned me into a believer. There's something here, something raw and heavy yet perfectly enjoyable. I consider this to be what Laphroaig QC in my opinion tries and fails to be. There is richness here unlike the bland ashtray tar of the QC. There is a rock salt quality to its saline notes. There's the soot of a pyre, and of charred meat. This is not an everyday dram but I could never accuse it of being overengineered like the QC with its unpleasant young wood and bitter, clinging sweaty board/tar smell which all are familiar Laphroaig characteristics but twisted into cartoonish and overdone versions of themselves. Here the power compliments instead of messing things up, and the result is pretty unique.

A lovely dram......but

Having saved up for an opportunity to purchase a bottle of this much talked about whisky, I have to admit that I wasn't 'wowed' beyond my experience of the Uigeadail. I get the impression this this whisky is 'over-designed' beyond the Uigeadail, containing too much of the manly chest-beating elements and thus losing its balance. A great dram nonetheless, but after due consideration, the Uigeadail offers greater complexity of flavours and value for money.

overpriced

another way overpriced scotch So much scotch at 1/2 the price is just as good, save your money and buy two bottles of something else
