- Description
- Ardbeg's 19-year-old Traigh Bhan (Batch 4) matured in ex-bourbon and oloroso sherry casks at 46.2%, drawing its name from Islay's singing sands beach. The nose shows pine needles, fennel, medicinal herbs, hazelnuts, and mint chocolate; the palate unfolds wood smoke, dark chocolate, ground coffee, lemon curd, raisin fudge, lemongrass, and menthol. A balanced Ardbeg for those seeking peat tempered by sherry sweetness and enough age to round Islay's rougher edges.
