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.

I won't even bore you with tasting notes, just buy it and try for your self. Thanks for this one Ardbeg, you never fail.
Possibly the finest whisky in the world. Better than my precious bottle of committee release dark cove
My partner is a huge Islay whisky fan, but we were not sure Corryvreckan would match up to Uigeadhail. In fact it is equally enjoyable, and they are both now favourites (along with the 16-year-old Lagavullin which is a go-to Islay).
So far I only new the 10 Yo from Ardbeg. The improvement is astonishing. For me it is one of these few stellar whiskys you have tout try and buy. There is a kind of spicy salty bacon taste that goes all day long with also an amazing sweetness on the tongue... I think I even prefer this one to the Laga DE which was my favourite so far. You like Peat and salty creamy taste, JUST BUY !
I could try the 10, Uigeadail and this one. Uigeadail was great, but my god, this is an absolute beast of aroma and complexity. I can spend minutes just smelling it, and the sip is even better. No doubt, this is one of the few stellar whiskys I have tried. I can't get enough of this bacon salty chocolate taste. Amazing !
