A bold step from the southern shores of Islay, this whisky marks the beginning of Ardbeg’s Anthology series - a voyage into new casks and fresh horizons. With 13 years of aging across ex-bourbon and Sauternes wine casks, The Harpy’s Tale blends Ardbeg’s signature peat smoke with rare sweetness from dessert-wine barrels. At 46% ABV, it’s a dram that invites you to explore the tension and harmony between smoke and silk.

Nose:
Distinct and oily: extra virgin olive oil drifts in with sweet briar wood, coriander, sage and smoked lemon peel.

Palate:
A velvety texture carries oak moss and treacle, aniseed lozenges and smoked apricots, finishing with a whisper of eucalyptus oil.

Finish:
Long and lingering: sweet-smoke melds into cumin, cardamom and just a touch of coconut.
