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
Colour
Deep golden amber with coppery hues and sunlit warmth.
Nose
Perfumed tropical fruit aromas drift on a sea breeze, with coastal smoke curling in behind. Saddle soap overlays charred green pepper as smoked mango and coconut mingle in an effervescent, tropical top note.
Palate
Creamy mouthfeel leads into a crashing symphony of herbal and spicy flavors: smoked maple-cured bacon, charcoal, white pepper and clove, with gentle outdoorsy notes of wood smoke and sea spray.
Finish
The finish glides long and generously, core notes of tropical fruit returning as heather and warm toffee mingle on the palate, capped by a whisper of smoked butter that lingers softly.
