Matured for 14 years in a marriage of Madeira and bourbon casks, The Unicorn's Tale is a dram that appears sweet in nature but hides a smoky twist not to be underestimated. Powerful smoke and zesty lime canter across the palate, with soft barley, menthol and clove lingering in a whimsically smoky finish.
The legend traces back to a dark night at the Distillery, workers came face to face with a horn-silhouetted creature rearing up against a full moon. Was it Rory, the Distillery's notoriously greedy Shetland Pony? Or Scotland's national animal, spotted on Islay at last? The questions remain.
