This non-chill filtered expression is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon casks and French oak casks, giving it a complex, multifaceted character. Bottled at a robust 57.1% ABV, the whisky displays a rich amber color, with intense and powerful aromas of tarry ropes, creosote, and linseed oil. Notes of waxy dark chocolate, blackcurrants, muscovado sugar, cherries, and earthy pine needles swirl in the nose, while tangy seaweed and smoky bacon emerge with hints of vanilla, cloves, and blueberries.
 
The palate delivers a forceful punch—chewy peppered steak, crispy seaweed, and black tarry espresso coffee, all layered with dark fruits like blackcurrants, blueberries, and cherries. The finish is long and intense, with notes of black tarry coffee, chocolate-coated cherries, and a hot pepper sauce kick, leaving a lasting impression that echoes the daring depths of the Corryvreckan whirlpool.
