- Description
- Ardbeg's Traigh Bhan 19 Year Old (Batch 3) blends ex-bourbon and oloroso sherry casks to balance smoke with vinous sweetness at 46.2%. The nose melds sea spray, pine resin, aniseed, toffee, orange zest, and stewed fruit with woodsmoke; the palate delivers sweet peat smoke, tar, treacle, walnuts, clove, and bitter almonds with lingering savoury smoke. A sophisticated take on Islay peat for drinkers who appreciate sherry influence without overshadowing the distillery's maritime character.
