Product description

Product description
This Ardbeg Single Malt Whisky is the first bottling of the limited Anthology Series by Ardbeg. Harpy's Tale matured for 13 years in rare Sauternes wine casks and was married with classic Ardbeg ex-bourbon. After over a decade in the cask, the rising smoke turns to sweetness as Ardbeg's distinctive character combines with the rich facets of the Sauternes casks. The design is inspired by the legend of the Harpies, hybrid creatures half human woman half bird. The legendary bottling comes at 46% vol. slightly increased drinking strength without colouring and without chill filtering.

The Distillery: Ardbeg

The Ardbeg distillery was officially founded in 1815 by John McDougall. But Whisky was distilled long before that. There are no documentations, as Ardbeg was an illegal business back in 1794. read more

Kommentar: Eine der besseren Sonderabfüllungen von Ardbeg. Leider preislich etwas zu hoch angesetzt. Eher etwas für Sammler.
