Enter a harmonious union of whisky aged in luscious Sauternes wine casks and the classic Ardbeg matured in ex-bourbon casks. Notes of smoked lemon peel take flight alongside hints of balsamic vinegar, while the journey continues with the arrival of fresh apricots that gracefully merge with tarry rope undertones. Originally conceived as a mere flight of fancy, this spirit achieves the pinnacle of balance between sweetness and smokiness. Ardbeg, a rare and extraordinary creature indeed...

This marks a historic first for the Distillery and a premiere within the Anthology Collection, representing the culmination of a captivating struggle between smoky and sweet. Ardbeg's unmistakable character engages in a vibrant dance with the opulence of Sauternes casks. Inspired by the elusive Harpy, a mythical winged creature believed to inhabit Islay, this creation pays tribute to the rarest and most exceptional.
