Step into a realm of myth and mastery with Ardbeg Anthology 14 Year Old – The Unicorn's Tale, the second legendary edition in the Ardbeg Anthology Collection. This extraordinary limited edition whisky transcends the ordinary, offering an enchanting journey through Islay’s storied past and its signature peated mystique.
Meticulously crafted by the esteemed Ardbeg distillery, this 14-year-old expression is aged in a unique combination of ex-bourbon barrels and specially selected specialty casks. The careful cask selection and extended maturation process weave together a complex narrative of flavour and aroma that is as captivating as the legends that inspire it.
On the nose, The Unicorn's Tale enchants with a delicate interplay of orchard fruits, honeyed oats, and subtle vanilla, all underpinned by the signature peaty smokiness that Ardbeg is renowned for. This aromatic tapestry sets the stage for a palate that is both rich and balanced.

The fusion of these elements creates a symphony of flavours that evolve beautifully on the tongue.
The finish is long, elegant, and unforgettable—lingering notes of smoky oak, sweet malt, and a whisper of sea breeze evoke the rugged maritime heritage of Islay. Each sip of this whisky invites you to explore the mythical and mysterious side of Ardbeg, making it a coveted treasure for collectors and whisky enthusiasts alike.
Whether you’re adding to a distinguished collection or seeking the perfect gift for a discerning connoisseur, Ardbeg Anthology 14 Year Old – The Unicorn's Tale is a whisky that captures the imagination and delights the senses with its unique blend of complexity, elegance, and iconic Islay character.

The Unicorn’s Tale is non-chill filtered at 46%.
Aroma: Rich, sweet, aromatic and fruity, baked banana bread and syrupy sponge pudding fill the senses. Notes of treacle trot into a distinctive whiff of burning cedarwood. A splash of water releases a bounty of tropical fruits. Eucalyptus oil mingles with soft, aromatic smoke.
Taste: Zesty notes of lime and sweet peaches canter across the palate. A burst of rich smoked fruit and baked bread prance into antiseptic lozenges, creosote, and aniseed. Soft barley malt combines with nutmeg and peat smoke.
Finish: The influence of these rare Madeira casks is undeniable. A whimsically smoky finish welcomes a long and lingering aftertaste of menthol, clove, wood smoke and camphor.
