Ardbeg Corryvreckan 57.1%abv 30ml

Named after Corryvreckan, one of the largest whirlpools in the world between the islands of Jura and Scarba to the north of Islay. This whisky replaced Arigh Nam Beist which was discontinued as it used 16 year old bourbon casks that were soon exhausted. The Beistie was very popular and Corryvreckan was initially received with some contempt by fans as it was a young modern style NAS whisky. Now Corryvreckans brash and bold peaty style at cask strength is a big favourite with Ardbeg fans. Its nice to compare the Uigeadail which uses sherry casks and the Corryvreckan which is bourbon casks.
