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.

Did you do any research before going out of country (assuming you aren't from Scotland)? It takes very little time to see how folks from other parts of the world interact with visiting folks. Also, you would have found that the islands aren't Disneyland if that's what you were looking for. If you wanted flat islands and possibly rain, then you went to the right place. Islay scotches have a certain flavor-base that are either loved or hated.
If you can tear yourself away from the excitement of the fleshpots of Filey there's many a worse place to be than Islay. The only drink is Whisky, the best come from Islay, the best of these are labelled Ardbeg and the Corrie is outstanding.

After reading all the reviews and hearing so much about Islay and particularly Ardbeg whisky we decided to spend a week there in June '14. What an absolute disappointment. We found the locals very unfriendly, the Island absolutely boring and the whisky quite dreadful. From now on we will happily stay at our favourite place Filey and stick to our favourite drink a pint of glorious Yorkshire Bitter.
AMAZING!!!! This was included in a package-Regular 10 year Ardbeg, a wee dram of Corryvreckan, and a wee dram of Uigeadal. Hubby and i taste-tested the Corryvreckan last night. WOW!!!! The aroma is amazing! I actually tasted some fig and apricot in there. Love it!
