Ardbeg Anthology #3 - The Beithir's Tale 2025 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 15 Year Old
Out of stock
Beithir: A fearsome—and famously thirsty—serpentine creature, said to bring misfortune to any who dare cross its path.
The third and final edition in the Ardbeg Anthology Collection features the legendary Beithir. Matured for 15 years in specially crafted bourbon casks—air-seasoned, heavily toasted, and lightly charred—this limited edition single malt is a whisky of mythic character. With a nose that entices, a texture that slithers silkily across the palate, and a finish that lingers like legend, The Beithir’s Tale is a dram not easily forgotten.
The Beithir’s Tale is a supremely aromatic dram. Just a splash of water unveils bold waves of eucalyptus and menthol, followed by piercing notes of fennel and pine. Peat smoke and coffee grits intertwine with sweet raisins, mellow vanilla, and a whisper of smoked butter—proving once more that Ardbeg is no stranger to the extraordinary.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Bold and complex on the nose, it fuses pungent, oily and spicy notes with treacle-wrapped creosote and smoked herbs. Subtle sweetness hints of toasted apples and raisins emerge, while water releases a vivid rush of eucalyptus and menthol, followed by aromatic fennel and pine.
Palate
Astonishingly well-balanced, the mouthfeel sizzles into earthy peat smoke, coffee grits, and currants. Sweet lemon balsam threads through smoked mandarins, then yields a sharp, lingering smoky tang.
Finish
Long and meandering, the finish trails off with elegant vanilla and smoked butter, leaving a refined, lingering warmth.
