Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ardbeg's Traigh Bhan, a 19-year-old gem, is made in limited batches, inspired by the Singing Sands of Islay’s Traigh Bhan beach. This exquisite spirit matured predominantly in Oloroso Sherry casks, is the embodiment of an aged Ardbeg. As part of the collectible series, this Batch 4 is the latest release.

Traigh Bhan's mastery lies in its balancing act of intense flavors. Bottled under a full moon, this unique spirit embraces more menthol, herbal notes, leaving an intense smoke in its peaty aftertaste.

Non-chill-filtered at 46.2% ABV Batch code: TB/04-07.03.2003/22.CG

Tasting Notes:

Color: Sunset Gold

Nose: A bouquet of herbal pine and fennel complements sharp citrusy lime sorbet and medicinal lozenge notes. Eucalyptus and saddle soap add depth. Water unleashes a flurry of hazelnut, sweet vanilla, and currants, with rich minted chocolate wrapping up the nose.

Palate: A surge of wood smoke is followed by luxurious dark chocolate and ground coffee. Lighter lemon curd and peanut brittle notes balance the richness, revealing soft hints of creamy raisin fudge and hazelnut. This exquisite dram continues its allure with hints of medicinal spices like menthol, fresh lemongrass, aniseed, clove, and white pepper from its rich, smoky core.

Finish: The sweet and peaty finish combines creamy vanilla fudge, dark cocoa powder, and a warm, woody clove spark, culminating in a sharp, intense, and lasting impression.
