The Ardbeg 13yo Anthology The Harpy's Tale is a unique whisky that artfully combines the smoky, peaty character of Ardbeg with the exquisite sweetness of Sauternes wine casks and the classic flavors derived from ex-bourbon casks. This exceptional whisky, bottled in 2023, is a harmonious marriage of two distinct aging processes, resulting in a rich, complex flavor profile that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning whisky connoisseur.
This 13-year-old whisky from the renowned Islay region offers a distinctively oily nose with notes of extra virgin olive oil, sweet briar wood, and aromatic herbs such as coriander and sage. A suggestion of smoked lemon peel adds to its intriguing complexity. On the palate, it is soft and mouth-coating, revealing a rich, sweet, smoky flavor with hints of oak moss, treacle, aniseed lozenges, and a delightful sweet, woody/balsamic note. The finish is long and lingering, accentuated by the subtle spices of cumin, cardamom, and a hint of coconut.
As a testament to the unique and rare qualities of Islay and its esteemed distilleries, the Ardbeg 13yo Anthology The Harpy's Tale is a must-try for any whisky collector or enthusiast.
