Ardbeg Anthology The Beithirs Tale 15 Year Old

Description

Brand: Ardbeg
Category: Whisky
Type: Single Malt
Region: Scotland – Islay
Strength: 46% alc/vol

Aged for 15 years in special designer charred bourbon casks, these barrels have been air-seasoned, heavily toasted, and then lightly charred.
With a nose that beguiles and charms, a mouthfeel that glides across the palate, and a finish that dwells. The Beithir’s Tale is yet another rare and enduring spirit in The Ardbeg Anthology Collection.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Pungent, oily and spicy, rich notes of treacle wrap around creosote and smoked herbs. Toasted apples and raisins reveal a sweeter underbelly. With water, eucalyptus and menthol burst forth as fennel and pine trail behind.

Palate: Astoundingly balanced, a sizzling mouthfeel leads into peat moke, coffee grits and currents. Sweet lemon balsam entwines with smoked mandarins, followed by a sharp, smoky tang. Finally, a long, meandering finish brings with it subtle hints of vanilla and smoked butter.
