Description

Since its establishment in 1815, The Ardbeg distillery has been on a tumultuous rollercoaster ride of ownership changes, closures, and reopening. Stability was only achieved relatively recently, when the ailing distillery was purchased in 1997 by industry giants, Glenmorangie. The subsequent years have seen the distillery's popularity swell, with fans enticed by the signature style of tarry, sooty whisky. Ardbeg 19 Year Old Traigh Bhan Batch #5 is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky, part of a limited annual release series inspired by Islay's Traigh Bhan beach, known locally as the 'Singing Sands'. This small-batch release was bottled in 2023 and matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks.

Nose
Fragrant aromas of lush tropical fruits, followed by extraordinary aromas of smoke and incense with menthol sweets and saddle soap. Roasted green pepper, smoked mango, guava and coconut mingle in an effervescing top note.
Palate
Initially creamy, then intense notes of spicy herbs and ripe fruits. Smoked maple bacon, charcoal, white pepper and cloves follow gentle hints of 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.
