Ardbeg Corryvreckan
The Corryvreckan is a smoky and medicinal tasting malt that takes its name from a tidal whirlpool to the north of Islay. This one does not carry and age statement but is richly flavoured and probably contains a mix of young and quite old whiskies. The whirlpool reference is quite apt and there seem to be lots of flavours swirling around in this one. Very, smoky and medicinal.
This is bottled at cask strength, some people prefer to taste it without water but we reckon just a splash will help release some more flavour.
