Ardbeg 'Corryvreckan' (57.1%, OB Committee 2008, 5000 bottles)
It was about time we published our own notes for this baby! In case you don’t know, the Corrywreckan is a huge whirlpool that one can sometimes hear when on Islay. We heard it once, in any case. Colour: full gold. Nose: yes! We don’t want to sound like f*****g purists but Ardbeg is better at making Ardbeg. There’s as much smoke, iodine, tar, wet wool, wet clay, oysters and fresh walnuts as possible in whisky. With water: even wilder, with unexpected notes of green olives. And we love green olives… Mouth (neat): even better than on the nose. Very thick, very creamy, peaty, lemony, kumquatty (wot?), bergamotty (hey?) and rather salty. Prototypically Ardbeg, kind of a bigger Airigh Nam Beist. With water: just sumptuous. Probably one of the best young Ardbegs we ever tried (we take it for granted that it’s not an old Ardbeg.) Finish: as long as a Fidel speech. Amazing peat/pepper combo. Comments: a winner despite its slight roughness.
SGP:369 – 92 points. To the north of Islay and Jura is the world's second largest whirlpool, the famous CORRYVRECKAN. Our Celtic abcestors knew it as the "Mother Goddess" or "womb of all creation". Today this thunderous, seething cauldron is named after the brave Viking Prince Breacan, who perished there proving his devotion to the daughter of the Lord of the Isles.

ARDBEG CORRYVRECKAN is the latest bottling to be released exclusively for the ARDBEG Committee. As it swirls around the glas, raw and powerful aromas surge to the surface, an irresistible invitation to delve deeper. Challenging, dark and dangerous, CORRYVRECKAN is the epitome of ARDBEG, "the untamed spirit of Islay".

ARDBEG, like CORRYVRECKAN, is not for the faint-hearted!
