Aged for 13 years in a mix of ex-bourbon and Sauternes wine casks, that is the inaugural whisky within the distillery’s new Anthology Assortment – a sequence of single malts matured in cask sorts which can be utterly new to the distillery.
“We’ve launched into a daring maturation experiment to fuse Ardbeg’s signature smokiness with extra nuanced, sweeter notes for our new launch The Harpy’s Story – leading to a really uncommon and sophisticated breed of Ardbeg,” mentioned Dr Invoice Lumsden, director of distilling and whisky creation.
“This can be a dram that represents a battle between candy and smoke – one I consider followers are but to expertise in an Ardbeg dram, and one which I’m certain they are going to be excited to style for themselves.
“Collectively, the whiskies within the Anthology Assortment will type a legendary, completely balanced and scrumptious sequence of uncommon and strange Ardbegs, wealthy in each lore and style.”
Priced at £141 with an ABV of 46%, Ardbeg Anthology: The Harpy’s Story will likely be obtainable for buy on Ardbeg.com, on the distillery customer centre on Islay and in chosen whisky specialists.
