Before I dive into the Corryvreckan, let me say Ardbeg 10 got me into peaty Scotch, and their core range of Corryvreckan and Uigeadail are both exceptional that I always keep in hand. For its profile, I prefer Uigeadail which is like a better Caol Ila 12 (the Corryvreckan is comparable to the Lagavulin 16 in some ways, but I prefer the latter). Definitely worth tasting side by side. For its 104 proof (57% ABV) the Ardbeg Corryvreckan stands as one of the finest high-proof malts, exhibiting intensity without harshness, moderate smoke presence, pleasant warmth, and a remarkable depth of flavor. @Rain10233
