Ardbeg 13 Year Old Anthology / The Harpy's Tale Limited Edition

Part of the Anthology Series from Ardbeg, this is the first release - The Harpy's Tale 13 Year Old Limited Edition.
The Ardbeg Anthology Collection is inspired by tales of unbelievable encounters: legendary brushes with the strangest creatures ever purported to stalk Islay. The Harpy’s Tale was inspired by the seldom-seen Harpy, a winged beast said to inhabit Islay.
This legendary edition is a marriage of whisky matured in sweet sauternes wine casks, together with classic Ardbeg aged in ex-bourbon casks.

    Nose:    Distinctly oily, with extra virgin olive oil, sweet briar wood, coriander, sage and smoked lemon peel.

    Taste:    Oak moss, treacle, aniseed lozenges, smoked apricots and eucalyptus oil.

    Finish:   A lingering sweet-smoky aftertaste, with touches of cumin, cardamom and a hint of coconut.
