Ardbeg Anthology 15 Years Old ‘The Beither’s Tale’

46% abv

Vol- 70cl

Nose: Pungent, oily and spicy, rich notes of treacle wrap around creosote and smoked herbs.
Palate: Toasted apples and raisins reveal a sweeter underbelly. A splash of water reveals hefty notes of eucalyptus and menthol, followed by sharp tangs of fennel and pine.
Finish: Well balanced, earthy coffee grits and peat smoke slither into sweet raisins, subtle vanilla and smoked butter.

The third and final release in Ardbeg’s Anthology series, the Beither’s Tale 15 Years Old has been 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 long after the final sip.

The Ardbeg distillery lies on the South shore of Islay, close to the other 'Kildalton' distilleries (Lagavulin and Laphroaig). The name Ardbeg comes from the Gaelic word 'ad bheag' for small hill. The malt is peated to an average of 55ppm at Port Ellen Maltings which gives the smoke, long fermentation times help to increase softness and impart fruity acidity. Both stills have quite a tall neck and are constricted just above the neck of the pot still. The lyne arm is also rising after the bend. All these factors result in a stable distillation with a lot of reflux which gives an oily, textural quality to the final product but also helps to refine the spirit.
