Product Info
The second legendary edition of the Ardbeg Anthology Collection is unveiled. Matured for 14 years in a marriage of fragrant Madeira casks and classic bourbon casks, this rare Ardbeg is inspired by the legend of the elusive Islay Unicorn. One dark night, after a distillery festival, the grounds echoed with the sound of horseshoes. While skeptics attributed the spectacle to the distillery's greedy Shetland pony, Rory, with a cantankerous temperament and a penchant for sweets, others believed something else was afoot. As the investigating workers turned a corner, they saw a horse-like creature rising against the backdrop of a full moon, its horns protruding from its head, creating an eerie silhouette. The next day, rumors of a unicorn sighting, Scotland's national animal, began to circulate. Of course, questions were raised about the dismantled ice cream truck, Rory's stall door, and the oddly wafer-like horn, but the workers insist they knew what they saw. While it's plausible to assume he was a greedy pony, Isla remains a mysterious place. Unicorn's Tail is a 46% ABV, unchilled, filtered whiskey.
