Anis Anis Lime Lime Barley Barley Peat Smoke Peat Smoke Sherry Sherry
Variety Single malt whisky
Aroma Rich, sweet, aromatic and fruity. Facets of banana bread and sponge pudding combine with syrupy notes and flavours of smouldering cedar wood. A drop of water reveals tropical fruits, eucalyptus oil and spicy smoke.
Taste Lime and sweet peaches with strong flavours of smoked fruit and baked bread are replaced by antiseptic lozenges, creosote tar and aniseed. Tones of barley malt combine with nutmeg and peat smoke towards the end.
Finish Long-lasting, the influence of rare Madeira casks clearly shines through the peat smoke. Menthol, clove, wood smoke and camphor towards the end.

Product description

Product description
This Ardbeg single malt whisky is the second bottling in Ardbeg's limited Anthology series. The Unicorn's Tale matured for 14 years in two types of cask: Madeira and ex-bourbon casks, which were then married together. As a result, this Ardbeg single malt unites two beings in itself, just like the unicorn, a Greek mythical creature that symbolises goodness. This legendary bottling is bottled at 46% vol. at a slightly higher strength without colouring and without chill-filtering.
The story behind this bottling is inspired by the legendary Islay Unicorn, which was discovered by workers one night after a party at the distillery. Its origins are shrouded in mystery. Whether it was a real unicorn or just a Shetland pony with an ice cream cone on its head, The Unicorn's Tale tells of a famously ravenous pony, an abandoned ice cream van and the wild imagination that gave birth to this legend.

Ardbeg
The Ardbeg distillery was officially founded in 1815 by John McDougall. But Whisky was distilled long before that. There are no documentations, as Ardbeg was an illegal business back in 1794. read more
