Ardbeg Anthology: The Unicorn's Tale 14 year old, 46%

Part two of this experimental trilogy brings madeira cask-matured Ardbeg into the recipe. Creamy aromas of lime zest, mandarin, banana bread, and white pepper as the peat smoke builds, adding notes of cedar and rolling tobacco. On the palate, warming citrus fruits, lime juice, apricot, peach, marble cake, spicy peat smoke, toasted peppercorns, nutmeg, cinnamon, and aniseed are all present. The smoky finish with menthol and eucalyptus really goes the distance.
