Ardbeg Corryvreckan is a powerful and iconic peated single malt Scotch whisky named after the legendary whirlpool off the north coast of Islay — a fitting metaphor for its intense, deep‑flavoured character. This expression delivers bold smoke and rich complexity, showcasing the distillery’s mastery of peated whisky with formidable depth and texture.
Aged in ex-Bourbon American oak and new French oak casks before being bottled at a robust 57.1% ABV and non‑chill filtered to preserve its natural oils and flavour integrity, Corryvreckan is crafted for whisky drinkers who crave intense peat, spice, and layered aromas.
Nose
A flavour collision of waxy dark chocolate, warm blackcurrants and muscovado sugar pulls you under its spell, with a burst reminiscent of earthy pine needles bubbling up from the depths. With water, a taste of salty seasoning reveals a briny character with tones of crisp seaweed and a surge of smoky bacon.
Palate
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 and daring journey into Corryvreckan.
(Adding a few drops of water can help tame the alcohol heat and bring out more of the sweet malt and fruit notes.)
