Ardbeg 19 Year Old Traigh Bhan Batch 5
The Tasting Notes
Perfumed aromas of luscious tropical fruit flow on the breeze, while curious notes of herbal incense and smoke follow closely behind.
A creamy mouthfeel leads the way into a crashing symphony of herbal, spicy flavours. Smoked maple cured bacon, charcoal, white pepper and clove rush forth amid gentle overtones of the outdoors in wood smoke and sea spray.
A satisfyingly long finish welcomes more tropical notes, with fragrant heather, warm toffee and smoked butter on the horizon.
Details
The latest release of Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Years Old is finally here. This sublime 5th batch is, like the batches before it, inspired by Islay’s Traigh Bhan beach.
Bottled in humidity, this rare small batch 19-year-old Ardbeg is arguably the most tropical dram to leave the distillery.
Perfumed aromas of luscious tropical fruit flow on the breeze, while curious notes of herbal incense and smoke follow closely behind. Menthol lozenge and saddle soap laps over charred green pepper, before smoked mango, guava and coconut mingle in an effervescing top note.
A sweet, smoky surge.
