ARDBEG – Corryvreckan

Located between the islands of Jura and Scarba, "Coirebhreacain" is the third largest tidal whirlpool in the world. Beneath this name lies an Ardbeg distillery that thoroughly explores the initial stages of single malt production: malting, fermentation, and distillation. For now, the casks in which it has aged are simply there to allow it to breathe. It will take a few more years for the woody notes to develop.

Nose : Incredibly smoky, roasted. First, the peat weighs heavily on a powerful distillate. Then, notes of yeast and beer evoke the washback. Finally, the stirring of barley takes us back to the malting floor. A return to the roots, in a way! Notes of methane even take us back to the origins of creation.

Palate : Rich, very concentrated. Gives the sensation of participating in the genesis of a single malt. You can imagine the peat vapors rising to the top of the still, the heat of distillation, the coppery notes and the soot on the walls.

Finish : It takes time for its tempestuous character to subside somewhat. However, it stubbornly refuses to be confined by oak. The cereal notes are clearly present. It becomes oceanic (smoked fish, sea spray, ink) and ultimately offers a hint of almond marmalade. Superb salty bitterness.

PEAT: Very peaty
ORIGIN : Scotland

Serve as an aperitif, dry, on ice or with a little water at room temperature.
