Ardbeg 15 Years Old

"The final chapter in the Ardbeg Anthology Collection has reared its smoky head. Introducing The Beithir’s Tale, a rare and elusive dram inspired by one of the most fearsome creatures ever said to stalk the Distillery’s shores." Aged for 15 years in special designer charred bourbon casks, these barrels have been air-seasoned, (left lying about outside?) heavily toasted, and then lightly charred. This whisky is inspired by the tale of the Beithir, (a giant snake-like beast, said to bring misfortune to all who cross its path) – a fearsome serpent that slithered into the Distillery (or so the story goes). Spotted among the barrels, it had three prized casks lodged in its belly. Charmed away by an enchanting melody piped from a chanter, the hypnotised beast fled into the Atlantic, leaving the barrels bobbing on the waves."
