Description
Ardbeg’s Anthology Collection continues its mystical journey with The Unicorn’s Tale, a truly unique 14-year-old Islay Single Malt. This special edition has been matured for fourteen years in a distinct combination of classic ex-Bourbon casks and aromatic Madeira wine casks, a marriage that beautifully tempers the distillery’s intense peated character with sweeter, exotic fruit notes. Bottled at a refined 46% ABV, it is a magnificent testament to the experimental spirit of Dr Bill Lumsden, Ardbeg’s long-serving whisky creator. This dram is best savoured neat to appreciate its complex layers. For Islay whisky enthusiasts, this collector’s piece represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and is a highly sought-after addition.

Tasting Profile:
- Nose: Aromatic sponge cake and baked banana bread yielding to waves of gentle peat smoke, fresh lemon rind, and sweet treacle.
- Taste: A rich burst of zesty lime, sweet peaches, and vanilla buttercream, followed by notes of antiseptic lozenges, spicy peat smoke, and toasted peppercorns.
- Finish: Long and mellow, with baked tropical fruit, maple-drizzled bread, and a persistent, pleasant linger of wood smoke and menthol.
