Ardbeg Traigh Bhan Batch #5 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 19 Year Old · 2004 Vintage
In stock
A heavily peated Islay single malt named after the bay near the distillery where clear water meets smoke and sea air. Distilled from some of Ardbeg’s intensely phenolic spirit and matured predominantly in ex-bourbon American oak, this batch showcases bold coastal peat smoke balanced by sweet vanilla, zesty citrus and gentle maritime salinity.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Perfumed aromas of luscious tropical fruit flow on the breeze, while curious notes of smoke follow closely behind. saddle soap laps over charred green pepper, before smoked mango and coconut mingle in an effervescing top note.
Palate
A creamy mouthfeel leads the way into a crashing symphony of herbal, spicy flavours. Smoked maple cured bacon, charcoal, white pepper and clove amid gentle overtones of the outdoors in wood smoke and sea spray.
Finish
A satisfyingly long finish welcomes more tropical notes, with fragrant heather, warm toffee and smoked butter on the horizon.
