Ardbeg Corryvreckan – Dive in and
experience the legend!
 Ardbeg,
revered by whisky connoisseurs as the
Ultimate Islay malt whisky has announced the
launch of Ardbeg Corryvreckan, a whisky
inspired by the famous Corryvreckan
whirlpool.
Corryvreckan is Europe’s largest, and
the world’s second largest whirlpool. It
lies beside the Hebridean Isles of Islay
and Jura which are off the West Coast of
Scotland. Celebrated in Celtic mystery
and legend, its raw, magnetic power
exactly mirrors the big and untamed
spirit of Ardbeg, the peatiest, smokiest
and most complex of all the Islay
whiskies.
Dr Bill Lumsden, Head of Distilling and
Whisky Creation explained: “Experiments
initiated in 1999 and continued ever
since have created parcels of Ardbeg
stock slowly maturing in French oak
casks on Islay. These are at the heart
of Corryvreckan's perplexing character,
teasing spicy and sumptuous sweet fruity
notes from the maturing whisky.”
Ardbeg Brand Director, Hamish Torrie,
added: “Corryvreckan has already had a
tremendous welcome from our loyal fan
club, the Ardbeg Committee, in 2008,
when we released 5000 preview bottles.
Their hugely positive reaction has
encouraged us to add Corryvreckan to the
regular Ardbeg range.”
Ardbeg Corryvreckan will be available
from 21st September 2009 at a price of
around £60 (pounds sterling) in Ardbeg’s
key markets of UK, US, France, Germany,
Italy, the Nordic countries, Japan,
Taiwan and Australia.

Tasting Notes For Ardbeg Corryvreckan
|
Swirling aromas and torrents of deep,
peaty, peppery taste lurk beneath the
surface of this beautifully balanced
dram. Its briny character of crisp
seaweed, sweet vanilla and rich, dark
melted fruits draws you into a long deep
finish.
