- Description
- Ardbeg's Traigh Bhan 19 Year Old (Batch 2, September 2020) opens with sweet wood smoke, vegetal fennel, and tea leaf complexity before revealing salty peanuts, medicinal smoke, lime, smoked pineapple, and aniseed on the palate, bottled at 46.2% ABV. The 19-year maturation brings sophistication to Ardbeg's signature peat smoke, with lingering tar and peat in a finish that rewards patience. This batch representation shows consistency in Ardbeg's longer-aged programme. An excellent introduction to how this distillery balances youth and age.
