For this Ardbeg 19 Year Old Traigh Bhan Batch 4 single malt, they draw their inspiration from Islay's Traigh Bahn beach, known locally as the Singing Sands. IT was bottled on a full moon night with a new blue symbol this year, thus distinguishing itself from previous editions.
A limited series of an emblematic cuvée.
Nose: Smoke mingles with sea spray, pine resin, fennel. Notes of medicinal lozenges, eucalyptus, lime.
Taste: Rich, with smoke, tar and intense dark chocolate, anise twists, mint, medicinal notes.
Finish: Long and lively, with creamy caramel, cocoa powder, cloves.
Founded in 1815 by John Macdougall, the Ardbeg distillery experienced a first period of closure between 1981 and 1989 and again in 1996, it reopened its doors a year later in 1997. In 2004, to the delight of its many aficionados, a first bottling of Ardbeg Very Young (only 6 years old) brought this legendary single malt from the Isle of Islay into a new era. The Ardbeg distillery produces some of the most peated single malts in Scotland. In the past, the lack of ventilation in the malt drying ovens retained the peat smoke, thus explaining the very peated character of its single malt. Ardbeg single malts combine charming rusticity, great finesse and a richness of expression worthy of the title “best peated whiskies”.
