    Vinification and aging

    The Ardbeg Corryvreckan Whisky production process begins with the meticulous selection of ingredients, with particular attention paid to pure water sourced from local springs. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats, where yeast transforms the mash into alcohol. Distillation, carried out in traditional pot stills, extracts the finest aromas. Aging occurs in oak casks, some of which previously held bourbon, adding vanilla and woody notes to the aromatic profile. This artisanal process, steeped in tradition, guarantees the quality and authenticity of the final product.
