14 Year Old Anthology - The Unicorn's Tale Whisky

A Unicorn's Tale is the second edition in Ardbeg's Anthology series, following on from the success of the first Anthology release, Harpy’s Tale. It's a single malt Scotch whisky matured in a marriage of Madeira casks and bourbon casks, bottled at 14 years old. Each release reimagines a mythological beast which might be real – or might be a mistaken glimpse at one of Islay’s native beasties… The story of the unicorn at Ardbeg begins on a dark night after a fête at the Distillery when the clip-clop of hooves was heard echoing around the yard. The workers suspected Rory, the Distillery’s greedy Shetland Pony who's known for his ill-temper and devilishly sweet tooth, but when they ventured outside to investigate they witnessed a horse-like creature rearing up against a full moon, with a horn protruding from its head. The next day, rumours swirled about a sighting of Scotland’s national animal… a Unicorn. Had Rory simply raided an ice cream truck and walked out of his unlatched gate? Or was something more mythical afoot?
