Ardbeg’s whiskies are highly peated, in contrast to the majority of Islay malts, which emphasize saline and seay flavors. Aromas of barley, spices, or sweet flavors like vanilla and chocolate predominate.

And its top tier is Traigh Bhan (pronounced Tri-Van) 19 Year Old 2022 Edition, which masterfully combines the lull and crescendo of its potent flavors. It has spent 19 years maturing in casks of Oloroso Sherry and Ex-Bourbon. It is bottled at 46.2% AB and is not chill-filtered.

The white sand beach at Traigh Bhan on the Isle of Islay served as the inspiration for the whisky. In the middle of the Scottish wilderness, the beach, also known as Singing Sand Beach, is a divine haven of peace and quiet that provides much-needed respite for the weary mind and weary senses. This special edition, which is bottled under the full moon’s enchanted rays, combines the magic of the full moon, the smokiness of the Scottish wildness, and the pleasant spirit of the white sand beach.

Notes on Tasting

Citrusy scents follow gentle herbal overtones on the nose. Dark chocolate and smoke hit the palate first, followed by softer flavors of hazelnut, menthol, fresh lemongrass, clove, white pepper, and anise. It has a long, powerful, and crisp finish.
