Ardbeg Corryvreckan - #2 of Leading Single Malt Scotch Brands

Ardbeg Corryvreckan

For the thrill-seekers who want a drink to match their personality, the Ardbeg Corryvreckan is the product that will achieve that goal. Named for the notorious whirlpool that's situated near Islay, the taste is an adventure in itself. A veritable cascade of aromas then battle for attention, as blackcurrants and chocolate mix with cherries while also converging with more potent offerings such as linseed oil and tarry ropes. That eventually leads to a more spicy array that hints at its origins, with a briny pepper-like connection drawing an individual in closer. The tangy nature of that last connection continues when it finally strikes the palate. What follows is much like the sensation of tasting hot pepper steak immersed in seaweed, a combination that's then superseded by fruity and almond-based flavors. The conclusion is dramatic as the hints of coffee, cherries and pepper sauce all come together for a savory finish.
