Description
With the Ardbeg 15 Years Old The Beithir's Tale, the Islay distillery continues its legendary Anthology Collection - a limited series of single malts inspired by mythical creatures of Islay. Each bottling represents a unique cask selection and a particularly characterful maturation. After "The Unicorn's Tale" and "The Harpy's Tale", "The Beithir's Tale'" tells the next story from Ardbeg's legendary world - named after the legendary Beithir, a giant, snake-like sea monster that is deeply rooted in the mists of Islay.
This 15-year-old Ardbeg has been matured in a combination of American white oak and secret rare casks - a cask selection that not only adds depth but also contributes to the mystique of this limited edition bottling. Colorless, non-chill-filtered and bottled at 46% vol., this whisky reflects the essence of Beithir: powerful, complex and untamed.
Legend has it that the beast devoured three fine casks from Ardbeg's warehouse before being tamed by the music of Jackie, Chair of the Ardbeg Committee. As a tribute to this encounter, the casks returned on the waves - matured, transformed, full of depth. The edition is therefore not only a tribute to Islay's legendary world, but also an aromatic testament to Ardbeg's creative cask art.

Tasting notes:
Color: Pale straw.
Nose: Spicy, oily and piquant. Lush notes of malt molasses meet tarry wood railroad ties and smoked herbs. Grilled apples and raisins reveal sweet notes. With a dash of water, the scent of eucalyptus and menthol unfolds, followed by fennel and pine.
Taste: Incredibly balanced, sparkling on the palate, followed by peat smoke, coffee grounds and redcurrants. Notes of lemon balm mingle with smoked mandarins, followed by a sharp, smoky spiciness.
Finish: Long and complex, with subtle notes of vanilla and smoked butter.
The Beithir's Tale is a whisky for the enjoyable, pure moment that requires time and attention. It is best enjoyed in a nosing glass at room temperature - preferably with a splash of water to open up its complex aromas even further. Ideal as an accompaniment to strong dark chocolate, smoked cheese or simply as a meditative dram in the evening. For collectors and Islay fans, this edition is an indispensable piece of modern whisky history - where myth meets malt. (automated translation)
