Ardbeg Corryvreckan

Heady, intense and powerful. A clash of waxy dark chocolate, warm blackcurrants and muscovado sugar with a burst of plump cherries and earthy pine needles. The salty palate brings a briny character with tangy crispy seaweed and smoky bacon swirling to the surface with a hint of sweet vanilla, spicy cloves and blueberries. Surrender to the dangerous depths with the heady power of menthol, treacle and chilli sauce.

Deep, peppery and chewy, bombarding the tongue. The initial dive yields a chewy, peppery steak, drenched in pepper sauce with the taste of crispy seaweed. As you descend deeper, you’re met with a mouthful of black, tarry espresso coffee that coats the palate with richly melted dark fruits (blackcurrant, blueberry and cherry) and bitter almond. As the flavour sinks in, star anise and hickory dry the palate before a surprise of chalky, effervescent violets fizzes to the surface.

Long, deep and powerful on the finish with black tarry coffee, chocolate covered cherries and hot pepper sauce: the lingering memories of your mysterious and daring journey to Corryvreckan.
