The Ardbeg Anthology 13 Year Old, The Harpy's Tale, Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a unique edition in the Ardbeg Anthology Collection, inspired by the seldom-seen Harpy - a winged beast said to inhabit Islay. This legendary edition is a first for the Ardbeg Distillery, which was founded in 1815 and is known for its outstandingly smoky drams and spirit of experimentation. The Harpy's Tale has been matured for 13 years in rare Sauternes wine casks and married with classic Ardbeg ex-bourbon casks. The result is a symphony of flavors, showcasing Ardbeg's signature peaty profile intertwined with the sweetness of Sauternes wine casks. This 13-year-old single malt whisky offers a unique combination of soaring smoke and rich sweetness. It has a soft, oily, mouthcoating texture, leading to a palate brimming with hints of oak moss, treacle, aniseed lozenges, and a woody/balsamic flavor. The finish is long and smoky, with a hint of coconut on the close. Part of the Ardbeg Anthology Collection, The Harpy's Tale presents a limited release for whisky connoisseurs and those seeking new sensations. With its unique blend of flavors and captivating story, this whisky is a must-try for any enthusiast.
