Beskrivelse:

Ardbeg Corryvreckan er opkaldt efter en hvirvelstrøm nord for Islay i det meget oprørte hav. Corryvreckan er lagret på en bourbon fade og franske egetræsfade. Aftappet ved fadstyrke 57,1%, og selvfølgelig ikke koldfiltreret.

Colour: Deepest amber

Aroma: Heady, intense and powerful. Swirl your glass and encounter the deep and turbulent force of Corryvreckan as it pulls you inwards with torrents of tarry ropes, creosote and linseed oil rising from the deep. As you sucumb, a collision of waxy dark chocolate, warm blackcurrants and musovado sugar with a burst of plump cherries leaps from its depths and pulls you under.

Now swirl water into the glass, and observe the magical collision og whisky and water. Sense gutsy cayenne-peppered steak and oysters smothered in hot Tabasco sauce. Salty seasoning brings a briny character with tangy crisp seaweed and smoky bacon swirling on the surface with hints of sweet vanilla, spicy cloves and blueberries. As the whirlpool quickens, surrender to its dangerous depths with the heady force of menthol, treacle and chilli sauce.

Taste: Torrents of taste well up on the palate: deep, peppery and chewy, bombarding the tongue with intense textures. The first plunge brings forth chewy peppered steak soaked in pepper sauce with the tang of crispy seaweed. Descend deeper to encounter a mouthful of black tarry espresso coffee that coats the palate with rich melted dark fruits and bitter almonds. Star anise and hickory dry out the palate before chalky effervescent violets fiss to the surface.

Finish: Long, deep and remaining powerful into the finish with black tarry coffee, chocolate coated cherries and hot pepper sauce: the lingering memories of your mysterious journey into Corryvreckan
