Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year Old Batch #5 (2023) 70cl (EMPTY BOTTLE & BOX)

Around the Ardbeg distillery there is a beach called Traigh Bhan, known to the locals as the Singing Sands. This beach inspired the Traigh Bhan release from the distillery.

Distilled on the 12th of February 2004, matured in American Oak & Oloroso Sherry casks before being bottled in 2023, this is batch no.5.

Some of the most rich, complex, and bold peated whisky on the market, each edition of Traigh Bhan (pronounced tri-van) is aged in a combo of American oak and oloroso sherry casks.

Tasting Notes

Finish : A satisfyingly long finish welcomes more tropical notes, with fragrant heather, warm toffee, and smoked butter on the horizon.

About Ardbeg

Ardbeg distillery has been producing whisky since 1798. The distillery is owned by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, and produces a heavily peated Islay whisky. The distillery uses malted barley sourced from the maltings in Port Ellen.

The Ardbeg distillery was officially founded in 1815 by John McDougall. But Whisky was distilled there long before that. There are no documentations, as Ardbeg was an illegal business back in 1794. The distillery is now owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), which also owns Glenmorangie distillery in the Highlands of Scotland. The current capacity is just over one million litres per annum and its water source is Loch Uigeadail, after which one of its famous releases is named.
