Our tasting notes
Delicate, nuanced and fragrant – here’s an Ardbeg that has a measured and deliberate delivery that doesn’t overwhelm but rather takes you on a journey of discovery. The bouquet is a collage of lightly smoked salmon, smothered wet beach-fire, with venison notes and hints of granny smith apples followed by a rich palate brimming with sweet and sour pork, butter menthols and feta stuffed bell peppers. The finish brings waves of brine, oak, lemon peel and sweet sherry. – A real master class in whisky making – Ardbeg at the top of their game. A real winner.

Bottling Notes
Produced in small batches to be released every year, this exceptionally rare 19-year-old draws its inspiration from Islay’s Traigh Bhan beach (pronounced ‘Tri-Van’), known locally as the Singing Sands. Each one of these exclusive, small batch bottlings will feature a unique batch code and symbol, inspired by various distinguishing features around the Distillery with the batch codes changing with each release.
It’s the epitome of an aged Ardbeg – matured in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks – Ardbeg Traigh Bhan effortlessly accomplishes… the impossible balance.
