Ardbeg Anthology 'The Beithir's Tale' 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700mL)

Unleash the Beithir: Ardbeg's Fiery Finale

Ardbeg Anthology 'The Beithir's Tale' 15 Year Old is the grand finale of the Anthology Trilogy, released in August 2025. This single malt is a trailblazer, matured entirely in bespoke 'designer bourbon casks'—air-seasoned, heavily toasted, and lightly charred. At 46% ABV, it’s non-chill filtered, retaining its natural hue. The Beithir, a mythical serpent, lends its name to this dram, which won 'Gold Outstanding' at the 2025 IWSC. Expect a dance of peat and sweet, with notes of treacle, smoked herbs, and creamy fudge.

Ardbeg is first and foremost one of the classic, peat-laden single malts in the smoky, Islay style. But it is also one of the sweetest, so you get an interesting combination of smoke, fruit, peat, and honey vanilla.

And since the distillery sits right on the coast (seriously, any close and it would have to float), you definitely get hints of sea salt and lime. It's not a "peat monster" test of manhood kind of Whisky, but it has full-throated flavor to spare. The 10 YO single malt is the cornerstone of the Ardbeg range, while a good portion of their Spirit is still currently used in blends.
