Ardbeg Anthology Scotch is a limited-edition series of single malt Scotch whiskies, each inspired by Islay's mythical creatures. The first release, "The Harpy's Tale," boasts a unique flavor profile thanks to maturation in rare Sauternes wine casks, alongside classic Ardbeg ex-bourbon casks.

Description

Ardbeg Anthology Scotch “The Harpy’s Tale” breaks the mold of traditional Islay whiskies. 

Aroma

A captivating mix of classic Ardbeg smokiness with unexpected notes. Think medicinal peat, carbolic soap, and a touch of olive, balanced by hints of dried apricot, honey, and a touch of waxy richness.

Palate

The initial sip offers Ardbeg’s signature oily texture. Smoke mingles with surprising sweetness –  dried fruits like apricots and raisins, alongside a touch of oak and honey. A hint of eucalyptus adds a refreshing note.

Finish

Long and lingering, with the smoky and sweet elements intertwining. Traces of wood spice like cumin and cardamom emerge, leaving a complex and satisfying aftertaste.

A soft, oily, mouthcoating texture leads into a rich, sweet, smoky palate with hints of oak moss, treacle, aniseed lozenges and a lovely, sweet, woody/balsamic flavor. Then followed by smoked apricots and eucalyptus oil.

Finally comes a lingering, sweet/smoky aftertaste, with a touch of cumin, cardamom and the merest hint of coconut.
