Ardbeg Corryvreckan<br /><br />Ardbeg Corryvreckan takes its name from the famous whirlpool that lies to the north of Islay, where only the bravest souls dare to venture. Swirling aromas and torrents of<br />deep, peaty, peppery taste lurk beneath the surface of this beautifully balanced dram. Like the whirlpool itself, Corryvreckan is not for the faint-hearted!

Swirl the glass and dip your nose into the torrents of tarry ropes, creosote and linseed oil rising from deep within the vortex. A collision<br />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.<br />From salty seasoning comes a briny character with tangy crisp seaweed and smoky bacon swirling on the surface with hints of sweet vanilla, spicy cloves and blueberries.<br />Surrender to its dangerous depths with the heady force of menthol, treacle and chilli sauce.<br /><br />Taste: Plunge into the whirlpool and torrents of taste well up on the palate; deep, peppery and chewy, bombarding the tongue. The first plunge brings forth chewy peppered<br />steak soaked in pepper sauce with the tang of crispy seaweed. As you descend deeper, encounter a mouthful of black tarry espresso coffee that coats the palate with rich<br />melted dark fruits (blackcurrants, blueberries and cherries) and bitter almonds. As the taste soaks in deeper, star anise and hickory dry out the palate before a surprise of<br />chalky effervescent violets fizz to the surface.<br /><br />Finish: Long, deep and remaining powerful into the finish with black tarry coffee, chocolate coated cherries and hot pepper sauce, the lingering memories of your mysterious<br />and daring journey into Corryvreckan.<br />

<br /><br />Ardbeg An Oa<br /><br />A welcome new addition to the Ultimate range. Ardbeg An Oa is singularly rounded, due in no small part to time spent in our newly established bespoke oak Gathering Vat<br />where whiskies from several cask types - including; sweet Pedro Ximenez; spicy virgin charred oak; and intense ex-bourbon casks, amongst others - familiarise themselves<br />with each other. The result is a dram with smoky power, mellowed by a delectable, smooth sweetness. Hallmark Ardbeg peat, dark chocolate and aniseed are wrapped in<br />smooth, silky butterscotch, black pepper and clove, before rising to an intense crescendo of flavour.<br /><br />Non chill-filtered with a strength of 46.6% ABV.<br /><br /><br />Color: Light Gold<br />Aroma: Rounded and smoky - like burning Applewood - with creamy toffee, aniseed, treacle and dates. A curious suggestion of juicy fruits, such as peach and banana. With<br />a drop of water, reminders of Ardbeg's classic fragrance - lime, pine resin, fennel, saddle soap and tar. A gentle waxiness, like fragrant candle wax, and hints of smoked<br />herbs. An Oa gives a final subtle reminder of the sea with briny notes and seaweed but always accompanied with creaminess.<br /><br />Taste: A smooth, creamy texture leads into a huge syrupy sweetness, flavours of milk chocolate, treacle toffee, aniseed, orange and smoky tea leaves. Gentle, sweet<br />spices (nutmeg &amp; cinnamon), some cigar smoke, and a very unusual flavour of grilled artichokes. Wood is always present in the spirit, gently nutty and reminiscent of a<br />carpenter's workshop. A long, sweet finish, with floral overtones, mint toffee and some gentle malty biscuit notes.<br /><br />Finish: Lingering, seductive, gentle yet intense, with flavours of aniseed, hickory and distant subtle smoke.<br />

Out of nowhere, a sharp tang of smoke and a crack of fresh black pepper fire<br />warning shots across the senses.<br />Taste: Suddenly, a rich, explosive mouthfeel bursts forth with chocolate, creosote and tar.
