Ardbeg Anthology 'The Harpy's Tale' 13 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Product Description

The Harpy's Tale 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 is a spirit that achieves the ultimate equilibrium between sweetness and smoke. A rare beast Ardbeg indeed. Locals were getting twitchy about mysterious disappearances... There's an appetite for all things rare at Ardbeg. Dugga, Head Warehouseman and novice ornithologist, lays claimto the rarest of encounters whilst tracking down the supposedly winged culprit of an undergarment theft. Believing it to be a resident golden eagle nicking the knickers, he set up the Mull of Oa to crack the case. But ehat transpired was a meeting far rarer than any feathered fowl... Binoculars and bottle safely stowed, the eagle-eyed Dugga lay in wait. Suddenly, a shrill screech pierced the air and without warning a wingtip revealed itself. 'The folk back at the Distillery are never going to believe me,' he thought. And he was right. It was no eagle. It was a Harpy. The head of a human and the body of an eagle, it's said to control storms with the flap of its wings. But as we now know, it's more interested in hosiery than hurricanes. Returning to the Distillery, a bottle of Ardbeg lighter, his story remains just as unbelievable to this very day... Whisky matured in sought-after Sauternes wine casks meets Ardbeg matured in classic ex-bourbon. Bottled in tribute to the lesser-spotted Islay creature, The Harpy's Tale is the first delicious edition in the Ardbeg Anthology Collection.
