Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year Old Batch #1 Islay Single malt Scotch Whisky (2019) 70cl

INTRODUCING AN ARDBEG OF IMPOSSIBLE BALANCE

The epitome of an aged Ardbeg – matured in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks – Ardbeg Traigh Bhan effortlessly accomplishes the impossible balance.

Ardbeg Traigh Bhan is a sublime 19 year old whisky and the Distillery’s latest small batch release. Inspired by Islay’s Traigh Bhan beach (known locally as the Singing Sands), this rare aged spirit is an enchanting reflection of the place to which it owes its name.

In a whisky where calm meets storm, experience seductively smooth beginnings, before powerful notes emerge in an intense crescendo.

Tasting Notes

Nose : On the nose, discover elegant notes of herbal pine resin, smoky pineapple, and dark chilli chocolate.

Palate : On the taste, experience a peaty power that plunges your palate into smoky depths. Like the rocks that break the surface at Traigh Bhan, the true nature of this Ardbeg emerges.

Finish : Waves of toasted oak and paprika guide your palate towards a gentle finish that resonates long beyond the glass.

About Ardbeg

Ardbeg distillery has been producing whisky since 1798. The distillery is owned by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, and produces a heavily peated Islay whisky. The distillery uses malted barley sourced from the maltings in Port Ellen.

The Ardbeg distillery was officially founded in 1815 by John McDougall. But Whisky was distilled there long before that. There are no documentations, as Ardbeg was an illegal business back in 1794. The distillery is now owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), which also owns Glenmorangie distillery in the Highlands of Scotland. The current capacity is just over one million litres per annum and its water source is Loch Uigeadail, after which one of its famous releases is named.

46.2% ABV.
