Ardbeg Corryvreckan Committee Reserve Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57.1% Vol. - limited edition bottling of a stunning Ardbeg Islay Single Malt!
A very rare Ardbeg Corryvreckan Committee Reserve Islay single malt scotch whisky and one of just 5.000 bottling's that were exclusively released in the year 2008 for the distillery Committee members at natural cask strength 57.1% vol.
Corryvreckan, translating from Gaelic as Cauldron of the Speckled Seas, is a gigantic whirlpool that can sometimes be heard when visiting the Isle of Islay - it lies between Jura and Scarba in the Inner Hebrides.
Swirling aromas and torrents of deep, peaty, peppery taste lurk beneath the surface of this beautifully balanced dram. With the first sniff, encounter the deep and turbulent force of Corryvreckan as it pulls you inwards. Swirl the glass and dip your nose into the torrents of tarry ropes, creosote and linseed oil rising from deep within the vortex. As you succumb to its power, a collision of waxy dark chocolate, warm blackcurrants and muscovado sugar pulls you under its spell with a burst of plump cherries and earthy pine needles leaping from its depths. As a replacement for the much-loved 1990 Airigh nam Beist, Ardbeg Corryvreckan had some pretty big shoes to fill, but the good news is that this is a belter, winning World's Best Single Malt Whisky at the World Whisky Awards 2010 and best no age statement Scotch from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible. Like the whirlpool itself, Corryvreckan is not for the faint-hearted!
This is one of the iconic Ardbeg Islay single malt scotch whiskies and a special highlight for enthusiasts, investors and whisky-collectors of extraordinary and fine Scotch whiskies.
Jim Murray in the Whsiky Bible: Simply brilliant and unique in its effortless enormity... I doupt if even the feared whirpool is this deep and perplexing.
