Ardbeg Drum 'The Ultimate' Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Manufacturer's Notes: The Ardbeg Distillery lies on the most southerly part of Islay on the rugged shores of the Atlantic Ocean.

To the north of Islay and Jura is the world's second largest whirlpool, the Corryvreckan. This thunderous, seething cauldron is named after the Viking Prince Breacan, who it is said met his watery end there.

This is the legend of Corryvreckan, but not as you have heard it before. Breacan fell in love with an Islay princess, the daughter of the Lord of the Isles. To prove his devotion, the brave suitor was challenged to survive three nights in Cailleach's whirlpool. He sailed into the perilous maelstrom, but the three ropes he carried to anchor his vessel were pulled asunder. Thus, says the legend, Breacan perished beneath the whirlpool that now bears his name, Corryvrecken. But it is not so! For Cailleach Bheare, the ancient goddess who guards the whirlpool, chose life for the prince and took him to her watery lair, where he has been sleeping. Now she returns him to us. What form will he take?

Ardbeg Corryvrecken is a heady, intense and powerful expression. Swirling aromas and torrents of deep, peaty, peppery taste lurk beneath the surface of this beautifully balanced dram. The epitome of Ardbeg.
