Product Description

The Unicorn's Tale 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. Never let neighsayers get in the way of a good story... Islay is home to all manner of fearsome creatures, from shapeshifting Selkies to man-eating Beists, and even thieving Harpies. But one legend grips the island's imagination more than most... On a dark night after a fete at the Distillery, the clip-clop of hooves was heard echoing around the yard. Those less swayed by mythical tales will tell you it was Rory, the Distillery's greedy Shetland Pony -- known for his ill-temper and devilishly sweet tooth. Others believe something else was afoot. Distillery workers ventured outside to investigate. Rounding the corner, they witnessed a horse-like creature rearing up against a full moon. A horn protruding from its head, it cut a chilling silhouette. The next day, rumours swirled about a sighting of Scotland's national animal... a Unicorn. Now of course, questions about a raided ice cream truck, Rory's unlatched gate, and a strangely wafery-looking horn were levelled at the workers. But they know what they saw! Sure, a greedy-guts pony is plausible, but Islay is a mysterious place... Whisky matured in a marriage of aromatic Madeira casks and classic Ardbeg ex-bourbon casks, this malt has been bottled in tribute to the fabled Islay Unicorn. This legendary edition is the second in Ardbeg Anthology Collection.

What critics and judges wrote

IWSC judges · Silver · 2025
Pine needles and cut branches, underpinned by a hint of bonfire smoke. On the palate, it reveals a sweet, syrupy richness, reminiscent of wine gums and a touch of mint.

Whisky Advocate · Jonny McCormick · 2024
Creamy aromas of lime zest, mandarin, banana bread, and white pepper as the peat smoke builds, adding notes of cedar and rolling tobacco. … The smoky finish with menthol and eucalyptus really goes the distance.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
