Description
With the Ardbeg 15 Years Old The Beithir’s Tale, the Islay distillery continues its fabled Anthology Collection – a limited-edition series of single malts inspired by mythical creatures of Islay. Each bottling represents a unique cask selection and a particularly distinctive maturation. Following “The Unicorn’s Tale” and “The Harpy’s Tale,” “The Beithir’s Tale” tells the next story from Ardbeg’s world of legend – named after the legendary Beithir, a giant, serpent-like sea monster rooted deep in the mists of Islay.
This 15-year-old Ardbeg was 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, unchill-filtered, and bottled at 46% ABV, this whisky reflects the essence of Beithir: powerful, complex, and untamed.
Legend says the beast devoured three noble 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, and full of depth. This edition is thus not only a tribute to Islay’s legendary world, but also an aromatic testament to Ardbeg’s creative cask-making skills.
