DESCRIPTION
With Ardbeg The Unicorn's Tale, the legendary Islay distillery presents an exceptional 14-year matured limited edition, which is part of the exclusive Ardbeg Anthology series. Inspired by one of Islay's most whimsical legends - the sighting of a mystical unicorn on the distillery's grounds - this whisky combines imaginative history and artisanal perfection. It has been matured in a balanced combination of aromatic Madeira casks and classic bourbon casks, giving it remarkable depth and aromatic complexity.
The story behind this bottling begins - like so many on Islay - on a dark night. Some believe it was just Rory, the distillery's moody Shetland pony, trotting across the farmyard in search of a nibble. Others are convinced it was a real Scottish unicorn that left an eerie silhouette in the moonlight. Whatever the truth may be, The Unicorn's Tale reflects the myth, the wildness and the inexplicable that fascinates Ardbeg fans worldwide.
In terms of taste, this single malt is a play of sweet gentleness and smoky depth, just like its namesake: charming but unpredictable. Bottled at 46% vol., non-chill-filtered and naturally without colorant, the whisky remains true to the Ardbeg spirit: uncompromising in expression and quality.
Tasting notes:
Color: Natural gold with amber shimmer.
Nose: Complex and inviting with baked apricots, lemon meringue, barley sugar, wisps of smoke and a hint of damp peat.
Taste: Multi-layered with sweet vanilla, dry Madeira, spicy wood notes, green mint, smoky charcoal and a tart, salty sea character.
Finish: Long-lasting, smoky and elegant with hints of cinnamon, malt sugar and a mysterious earthy finish.
Ardbeg The Unicorn's Tale is best enjoyed neat in a nosing glass at room temperature. A few drops of water allow the floral and mineral notes to blossom even further. Ideal for collectors, lovers of myths or discerning connoisseurs looking for a special Islay experience. Also a real highlight as a gift with symbolic power.
