Very Rare 14 Years Old

The second edition in the legendary Anthology Collection, this rare 14 Years Old is inspired by the fabled Islay Unicorn. Like the myth itself, this spirit may appear sweet in nature, but it hides a smoky twist not to be underestimated.

Matured in a marriage of aromatic Madeira casks and classic Ardbeg ex-bourbon casks, powerful smoke and zesty notes of lime canter across the palate. Soft barley and burning cedarwood lurk in the distance, while menthol, clove and camphor come together in a whimsically smoky finish. 

Non-chill filtered.

Maderia & Bourbon casks, ABV 46%. 70cl.

Colour:

Pure Gold

Aroma:

Rich, sweet, aromatic and fruity, baked banana bread and syrupy sponge pudding fill the senses. Notes of treacle trot into a distinctive whiff of burning cedarwood. A splash of water releases a bounty of tropical fruits. Eucalyptus oil mingles with and soft, aromatic smoke.

Taste:

Zesty notes of lime and sweet peaches canter across the palate. A burst of rich smoked fruit and baked bread prance into antiseptic lozenges, creosote, and aniseed. Soft barley malt combines with nutmeg and peat smoke. 

Finish:

The influence of these rare Madeira casks is undeniable. A whimsically smoky finish welcomes a long and lingering aftertaste of menthol, clove, wood smoke and camphor.
