Ardbeg Corryvreckan 57,1% Islay Single Malt

Falstaff Bar- & Spiritsguide 2016 - 91pts: *Torf, Tabak und Seesalz sind die ersten Erinnerungen, die bei diesem Duft entstehen. Am Gaumen geht der Geschmack in Richtung salted caramell, mit Holzrauch versetzt. Trotz des höheren Alkohol-Levels harmonisch im Abgang.* 11/2015

Jim Murray´s Whisky Bible 2019 – 96,5 pts: *Nose 23, taste 24,5, finish 24, balance and overall complexity 25. As famous writers – including the occasional genius film director (stand up wherever you are my heroes Powell and Pressburger) – appear to be attracted to Corryvreckan, the third most violent whirlpool found in the world and just off Islay, to boot, - I selected this as my 1,500th whisky tasted fort he historic Jim Murray Whisky Bible 2009. I´m so glad I did because many have told me they thought Blasda ahead of this. Tom e, it´s not even a contest. Currently I have only a sample. Soon I shall have a bottle. I doubt if even the feared whirlpool is this deep and perplexing.*
