Ardbeg Anthology: The Harpy's Tale 13 year old, 46%

Price: 165 Issue: Winter 2023 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Single Malt Scotch

The nose kicks off with a cloud of sawdust, which soon opens up to orange peel, Orange & Creme Creme Savers, vanilla frosting, and a splash of pickle juice. The palate has fantastic texture, and it’s further bolstered by delicious flavors of cinnamon, candied orange, trail mix, peanut shells, and Justin’s peanut butter cup. The finish brings back that initial wood, adding Lemonhead candies, lemon rind, and unsweetened black iced tea.
