A marriage of whisky matured in sweet Sauternes wine casks, together with classic Ardbeg aged in ex-bourbon casks. Notes of smoked lemon peel soar alongside balsamic vinegar, before fresh apricots roll and bank into notes of tarry rope. First imagined only as a flight of fantasy, this a spirit that achieves the ultimate equilibrium between sweetness and smoke. A rare beast Ardbeg indeed…
A first for the Distillery and the first in this Anthology Collection, this spirit is the outcome of a battle between smoke and sweet. Ardbeg’s unmistakable character tussles with the richness of the Sauternes casks. Inspired by the seldom-seen Harpy - a winged beast said to inhabit Islay - this bottled in an ode to the rarest and most.
