Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Years Old Batch 1 70cl 46.2°

The Ardbeg Traigh Bhan Single Malt is a sublime 19-year-old whisky, the last bottling produced by the distillery in 2019.

This rare whisky benefited from aging in American Bourbon oak barrels and Oloroso Sherry casks. It is a non chill-filtered whisky.

The balance of the Ardbeg Traigh Bhan is impressive, an alternation of calm and storm that follows the activity of the beach Traigh Bhan Islay which inspired the name of the Single Malt (locally known under the name Singing Sands).

The tasting transports us with sweet and seductive beginnings that evolve to powerful notes. Elegant notes develop on herbal pine resin, smoked pineapple and black pepper chocolate.

In the mouth, one feels the power of the peat which plunges the palate into smoky depths. Waves of aromas of toasted oak and paprika guide the tasting to a soft finish that resonates well beyond the glass.
