The Harpy's Tale - Box
Explore the unique tales of Ardbeg Anthology, "The Harpy's Tale," inspired by captivating stories of magical encounters on Islay. The inaugural edition, "The Harpy's Tale," narrates the story of the rare harpy – a mythical creature, part human, part bird – maturing for 13 years in French Sauternes sweet wine casks. Through the marriage with classic Ardbeg from ex-Bourbon barrels, an ascending smokiness evolves into sweet notes over the course of a decade. This exceptional release presents a rich expression of Ardbeg's distinctive character, fused with the intense sweetness of Sauternes casks. A fabulous delight that reflects the history of Islay in every aromatic nuance.
