TASTING NOTES - ARDBEG ANTHOLOGY "THE UNICORN TALE" 14YO

Nose

The distillery DNA is definitely there, however somehow calmed down and easier to face. There is still some distant hints of petrol and pollution, and a gas peat, but the initial hints are much sweeter, with apples, candied grapefruit and some banana. These two divisive aspects are somehow put together by a toasted wood and complex woody spices mix. Interesting.

Palate

The sweet apple character provided by the Madeira casks is also quite present, balanced by a zesty note of orange and lemon. The peaty side is less aggressive than in other Ardbegs, however it nicely pairs the fruity sweetness. Herbs and sweet spices are completing the nice mix.

Finish

Medium duration, with nice complexity of sweet fruit, yet peated and herbal hints are also given off with nice intensity.

Ardbeg Anthology "The Unicorn Tale" 14 yo is a nice release, which is mixing the distillery DNA with a mitigated character of sweet fruit, herbs, sweet spices and wood. A rich and rather complex release.
