Ardbeg Corryvreckan Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Review
Don't be intimidated by this single malt's 57.1 percent ABV content, the alcohol in this whisky weaves seamlessly into its profile. On the nose, maple syrup and toasted oak aromas set a powerful tone, followed by layers of red berries and a hint of earth. Bold smoky notes finally emerge on the palate, and there they linger for an age, prolonging the finish for an eternity.
