Ardbeg Corryvreckan & Glass
Lot number: 068-1237
Winning bid: £60
Given the success and cult-like fan base that Ardbeg has recently enjoyed, it is almost impossible to image that the distillery was closed, on and off, for 15 years until it was purchased by Glenmorangie. Sitting on the southern coast line, the current distillery was founded in 1815, the original having been destroyed by excise men. The Ardbeg spirit still is fitted with a purifier which many believe accounts for its fruity, zesty character.
Not for the faint-hearted! The name comes from the infamous Corryvreckan whirlpool that runs between Jura and Scarba.
This Corryvreckan hails from 2009 when it was nominated the best whisky of the year by Jim Murray and comes with a branded glass.
57.1% ABV / 70cl
