Other Products ｜Ardbeg Anthology The Unicorn's Tale Scotch Whisky

The Unicorn's Tale is the second Ardbeg Anthology — fourteen-year Islay peat matured in Madeira and ex-bourbon casks at 46% — and Drinkhacker graded it A- for grilled peach, charred lemon, and dried apricot with mango on the finish. Ardbeg has distilled on Islay's Kildalton coast since 1815 and was rescued by Glenmorangie in 1997 — LVMH owns both now — with Dr. Bill Lumsden directing the whisky; the Anthology series is a run of age-stated Ardbegs with unusual casks and mythical-beast labels, and the Unicorn — Scotland's national animal — is the Madeira one: fourteen-year Ardbeg from ex-bourbon casks and casks that held the fortified island wine, married, bottled at 46% without chill filtration. Drinkhacker: grilled peaches, charred lemon, and dried apricot with tropical mango in the finish — A-. VinePair and Me, My Wife & Whisky both find the Madeira as tropical fruit and toffee rather than sugar, sitting easily on the peat. Expect an Ardbeg that leans tropical — mango, peach, apricot, orange peel — over the house smoke, brine, and tar, with a long, fruity-smoky finish. Honest note: the better-reviewed of the two Anthologies, and Madeira-cask peated Scotch is rare — for the Anthology collector, the fruit-and-smoke drinker, and the gift for the Ardbeg fan who has the core range.
