A heady, intense and powerful expression. Swirling aromas and torrents of deep, peaty, pepper taste lurk beneath the surface of this beautifully balanced dram. It is the epitome of Ardbeg, 'the untamed spirit of Isaly'.
Background: To the north of Islay and Jura is the world's second largest whirlpool, the famous Corryvreckan. Celtic ancestors knew it as the 'Mother Goddess' or 'womb of all creation'. Today this thunderous, seething cauldron is named after the Viking Prince Breacan, who perished there proving his devotion to the daughter of the Lord of the Isles. Ardbeg, like Corryvreckan, is not for the faint-hearted! |
