This is the the third batch of Ardbeg's permanent 19 year old expression, Ardbeg Traigh Bhan (pronounced TRI VAN). Always produced in small batches and released once annually, this dram draws its inspiration from Islay’s Traigh Bhan beach, known as “the Singing Sands”. For this release, there was a slight difference in cask selection in order to convey a spicier flavor profile. Each batch has its own unique code, batch symbol and signature from a famous member of the team.

Tasting Notes

"The pale color and medium weight of this whisky are deceiving! It's filled with strong aromas of burning cherrywood, smoked cinnamon and brine on the nose. While the trademark Ardbeg smoked rubber tire characteristic is present, it is very much underplayed by spicy flavors of fresh ginger, cardamom, fennel, cinnamon and clove as well as a smoky, herbal note of of burning rosemary. The midpalate brings in somewhat Christmasy flavors, with notes of sweetly spiced applesauce and vanilla, though these are covered with a generous heap of salted caramel. The finish goes for the burn, with notes of smoked almonds and more pungent spice adding to a long, savory-sweet finish. "
