Ardbeg Corryvreckan

General description

My favorit Ardbeg.

General description

great peated, have many taste. sweat, spicy, smoky. big shock, but I like it.

Nose

peated

General description

I really want to like this, but am not completely feeling it. That seems odd, because I love Uigeadail.

General description

brilliant twist on the Ardbeg known taste

General description

sweet. slightly smoky. briney

General description

My favourite whisky!
Sweet whisky with smoke and turf flavours.
It is complete! Love it!

General description

Aroma: viel Rauch, würzig, leicht süß, Seegras, minimaler Anteil an Frucht, Salz

Geschmack: viel Rauch, würzig, salzig, leicht süß, leicht pfeffrig, ölig, leicht bitter, wenig fruchtig

Abgang: viel Rauch, Chili, Pfeffer, Salz, leichte Eiche, herb

Fazit: Find ihn ein klein bisschen unangenehmer im Mund als den Ardbeg Uigeadail. Trotzdem schön ölig im Mund und dieser Rauch ist einfach der Wahnsinn! Find ihn im Abgang einen Tick zu brennend. Aber geil komplex und auch ausgewogen. Mag ich!

General description

smoky with salinity and a peppery finish. a lovely dram

General description

Toller Ardbeg, neben dem schönen Lagerfeuerrauch hat er eine interessante Süße und besondere Eiche (Rotwein?). Er schlägt den 10er - den ich liebe - nochmal deutlich. Wow!

General description

n: pleasant, light, citrus, peat, mineral/earthy
t: big sweet peat with, ink
a: sweet, ink, peat

General description

One of my favourites,a powerful whisky with lots going on, like a peppered steak with lots of sweet dark fruits, some brine and vanilla and obviously lots of peat smoke.

General description

Peaty, smokey, peppery and very flavour some. Highly recommended for peat fans

General description

dont like turfed (burnt) wiskey so...

General description

Smoke and fire, this spicy, oily and a bit over the top. A big and funky scotch.

General description

nice Ardbeg with all the peat and creamy sweetness you expect, I don't find the Burgundy cask influence though

Nose

very peaty, cereals, bitter (orange), chocolate, phenolic, very strong

Palate

peaty to carbonaceous, heavy and buttery, a bit fruity, pepper

Finish

nice, warm and salty

General description

Smoke, oily and pepperish. sharp and warm turning sweet.

General description

Nose: not nearly as peaty as for example ardbeg 10. Strong abv. Chocolate. Seaweed
Taste: much richer than ardbeg 10. Explosion of flavours. Spice. Dark fruits. Delicious

General description

punch you in the face peat and smoke. my favorite ardbeg so far.

General description

Best nose out there!

Nose

Barbecue, smoke, wood, white grape sweetness

Palate

Hard to pick up palate

Finish

Oily and hot

General description

Smoke Brine, not as sweet as Uigeadail

Nose

Smoke, brine, BandAid

Palate

Peaty smoke, earthy, sweet fruit,

Finish

Peppery smokey high proof burn, BandAid

General description

nonchillfiltered, non coloured, 57% ABV.

Nose

rich, peat, leather, earthy, sweet

Palate

mild spice but not given high ABV, smoke, campfire, slightly sweet, well-rounded

Finish

long, peaty finish. You can taste this for days!

General description

smokeyness, I find it hard to distinct flavors behind the thick layer of peat smoke.

General description

Herber Raucher. Schöner Islay Malt, könnte nach meinem Geschmack aber mehr Aromen in Richtung Frucht/Süße vertragen.

Nose

Deutlicher, aber weicher Rauch. Weiche Süße (dunkle Schokolade, Karamell). Holz

Palate

Wenig Frucht und Süße. Eher herb. Ich suche nach deutlichen Charakteristika. Könnte spannender sein.

Finish

Am Ende etwas pelzig.

General description

seaside salt and smoke. A nice combination.

General description

peat, salt, smoke

General description

Unique the best

General description

Nose: Oak smoke, like hickory. Salt. Custard?
Mouth: Thin like the 10. Billowing bon fire. First sip is a punch to the face. Smoked meats over hickory. Brine. Pepper.
Finish: Long and spicey. Warms the throat. Just damn delicious.

General description

Nose: smoke and peat up front with citrus notes following behind, honey, sweet cream, semi-floral with seaside salty air in the mix
Palate: classic Ardbeg smoke and peat, followed by intense hot chili pepper spice with the classic citrus/honey/vanilla cream notes ever present
Finish: long, spicy, hot, smoky
WARNING: not for the beginner; this is a potent beast, but truly excellent.

General description

Everything you've read about this mythical beast is true, it's simply amazing. It's like being punched in the face then laid gently down on a pit of burning embers. It's a yin to the sherry yang of the Oogie, and a whole lot more tumultuous than the 10 expression.

The initial salty punch gives way to a myriad of flavours that simply burst through like a kaleidoscope of taste sensations, ending with a ridiculously long and woody finish that you can still taste for breakfast the following morning.

This is an astonishing experience, let alone as a whisky; and utterly captivating

General description

Heavy, peaty, awesome.

General description

2017-05-05 Ardbeg, Islay

General description

really peaty, leather, dried fruit, nuts, a hint of dark coffee, a really strong peat and smoke just goes up when swallow it

General description

Le goût salé de l'ocean, puis le bois brûlé et une finale tabac à pipe

Palate

sel, bois brûlé,

Finish

tabac à pipe

General description

Just the way I expected it. Smoke, peat and a salty flavor. Perfect for Islay-lovers

General description

Tons of smoke. its peatier and less sweet than the Uigeadail, and has an ashy dryness that I love. oak, leather, ash, tar, brine and black pepper are the dominant flavours

General description

Magnífico!!

General description

Was für eine Bombe! Hier passt alles, Torf, Rauch und Alkoholgehalt.

General description

power house without knocking your taste buds out of commission. very complex. Loved it!

General description

campfires burning, draw nearer.

General description

one of the best whiskeys I've purchased. very full flavor. lots of flavor notes

General description

Very Smoked. Armonic.

Nose

Smoke

General description

Drinking Corryvreckan and Uegeadail back to back is an enlightening experience. Corry matured in French oak casks and burgandy casks while Oogie in sherry and bourbon casks. Corry is sweeter and pepperier while Oogie has dark, dry fruit notes. Everything is riding on Ardbeg BBQ. fire pit which does not overwhelm complexity.

General description

One of the most intense but enjoyable whisky's I've had so far. Smokey, but not overwhelming, with some subtle fruit notes to balance it out

General description

precious..smoked, very smoked!!!

General description

smoky like salmiac

General description

stark rauchig, kräftig, verträgt gut Wasser

General description

powerful and peppery

General description

Beautiful! Strong flavours, smoke initially, then some toffee

Nose

Smoke, with some toffee

Palate

Salt, tar

Finish

Burning wood

General description

strong but very tasty

General description

Intense smoke, very heavily peated.
compared to the 10 years old it's just more of the same. Not really worth the higher Price.

General description

mächtiger, wilder ardbeg. torfig(aber nicht unbedingt zu rauchig) kraftvoll, braucht zeit zum atmen um sich ganz zu entfalten... sehr schön

General description

After Perpetuum, An Oa, Grooves and Kelpie, Ardbeg wasnt my first choice for a new whisky. But I still tried Corryvreckan with a friend and was most pleasantly surprised. This one is worth its price. Although as Uigeadail is better imo Id still go with that one. Corryvreckan is very intense. Lots of pepper and peat in addition to the distilery character. Although I favor Uigeadail I sincerely hope I get to taste Corryvreckan again someday.

General description

Nose: peated, vanilla, spirits,
Body: stinging on the tongue, closed before adding a little water, liquice (Pernod), salty,
Finish: smoke, warming, squeeze the mouth.

General description

great smoke and peat flavour. wonderful finish.

General description

Only for the bravest. It's so powerful and strong but very well balanced at the same time. We'll definitely buy again

General description

Best Whisky I ever had. Very peaty but I love that

General description

Definitely not for everyone. It's like Arbeg 10yo on steroids. If you enjoy a lot of peat and smoke, you're going to love Corryvreckan

General description

Very smokey and peated therefore a very string taste to start with, the anise finish is pretty strong (too much for me). Overall a very strong but sophisticate whisky

General description

Quite an unexpected development, the nose didn't really hint at the palate, the finish comes sudden and strong. Excellent at each stage and certainly memorable.

Nose

Peat with a herbal quality, almost piney. Buttery.

Palate

Syrupy mouthfeel, sweet fruit, citrus, orange peels. Creamy with warming spices. Quite unique and not at all expected after the nose.

Finish

Sudden & strong. Smoke, chili, meaty.

General description

Lekker in winter

General description

Dizzying aromas of peat, smoke and white fruit in the background. Rich taste of honey, nuts, apple syrup and white fruit. All this is intermingled in a complex picture. Despite the high alcohol it is very delicate on the palate, but a teaspoonful of water won't hurt. Very good Islay.

Nose

Peat, smoke, white fruit

Palate

Honey, nuts, apple syrup, white fruit

Finish

Sea buckthorn berries, grapes, slightly alcoholic

General description

Peaty, black pepper, a little cumin

General description

good just a little too much burn

General description

Nice

General description

peppery, warm, salty

General description

Wonderful, interesting, challenging, dark and sweet and wild!

Nose

Sweet vanilla, orange marmelade, aniseed, ginger, eucalyptus, smoked ham. Dark but fresh. With water comes a nutty note and much dark red fruit.

Palate

Espresso, nuts, proper and orange marmelade. Some oily shoe polish, but also little bit metallic, but it fits in. The peat tastes like sucking on a smoked sausage.

Finish

85% cocoa chocolate, liquorice and a dry, dusty aftertaste.

General description

Outstanding! Smoked meat, brine, wet socks and nice alcohol heat. Well balanced and complex.

General description

great tasting peated whiskey that is full on (in a good way) and with an aftertaste that reminds you of chewing charcoal ( in a good way). this whiskey is one you should sit on for ages just sipping away at it.

General description

Intensely smooth, smoky, and peaty. Pepper, salt, and charred steak behind the peat. A charred smoked grenade explodes in your mouth that dissapates into salty, smoky, peppery and malty flavors. Very complex and unique. Wonderful finish that leaves some unexpected salty sweetness on the palate. The finish is strong with this one!

Nose

Char, smoke, peat, pepper

Palate

salt, malt, peat, char, smoke

Finish

smooth, inviting and slightly sweet.

General description

peppery, warm, salty, balanced, slight sweetness

General description

medium peat, seaweed salty hint. ends with dark chocolate, black cherry and coffee.

Nose

smoke and peat definitely there, not quite as powerful than other ardbegs. sweet vanilla present there too behind the smoke.

Palate

good body with a fairly smooth mouth-feel. friendly punch of smoke and peat married with sweet vanilla with a touch of salt. ending with dark chocolate and espresso.

Finish

lasting peat and chocolate

General description

Wow!!!

General description

oh my God this is amazing

General description

Quite gentle, but peaty with hints of liquorice

General description

Geweldige smaak explosie van turf rook. Met nog wel een mooie zoete smaak er tissue

General description

Oooh wat is dat. Sterke turf heerlijk.

General description

A rush of peat and force up front, then dark chocolate, seaweed and fruits. Amazing.

General description

nose is beef brisket, campfire smoke, blood orange, sour pineapple. initially some tropical fruit into peat - never too sweet and never far from Ardbeg's signature peat. also some ribs in there, which I think is cool. thick mouth feel. relatively long finish, smoke. I didn't get any burn from the high abv. a must have for lovers of strong flavors

General description

White Pepper, Star Anise, Cherry, Smoke, Coffee

General description

Extremely peaty and lots of flavors. Not for everyone but really interesting. I enjoy having a drink at the end of the meal.

General description

a real peatpunch in the face. sweet and peppery aftertaste. verrrry good!!

General description

Lekker pittig

General description

Amazing Islay malt with a great punch of peat and a refreshing sea salty touch that I had not experienced before.

General description

my favorite !

General description

Very peaty peppery and crisp seaweed. Long finish black coffee, chocolate and cherries. Another reason I have a spare bottle.

General description

Tremendous example of the Islay whiskys. Rich, peaty smokiness, combined with the saltiness of ocean spray make for a bracing dram!

General description

Smoked, peppery fruit (citrus, pineapple) in a bowl of salty sea water. A salty, bittersweet and peppery punch in your face.

Nose

Smoke, peat and yellow fruit. Orange peel, smoked raisins, butter, pineapple and a splash of salty sea water.

Palate

Salty, smoky and a little greasy. Bitter fruit (pineapple, citrus, green apple), ash, pepper and fresh wood.

Finish

Long and salty, with roasted coffee, bacon and tobacco, but also notes of peaches and oranges.

General description

Full-bodied smokey and peaty islay single malt with a nice smokey aftertaste. More smokey and rich on the mouth than Ardbegs Ugeadail.

General description

Tourbe fumée,poivre,iode.Bien equilibré,top!

General description

Une belle réussite. très tourbé.
