- Description
- Ardbeg's Traigh Bhan 19 Year Old (Batch 6) layers minty sweetness and toasted bread aromas over deeper notes of creosote, coal tar soap, and smoked pineapple, bottled at 46.2% ABV. The extended maturation softens Ardbeg's typical harshness while deepening peat influence into tar and smoke, with underlying sweetness from the wood. This is Islay whisky with age and complexity, moving beyond the distillery's entry-level offerings. A refined choice for peat enthusiasts who appreciate subtlety alongside intensity.
