Description
Capturing the essence of Traigh Bhan beach, beautiful shores known locally as the Singing Sands, this is the sixth edition of this cult Ardbeg annual bottling. Matured in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks, the rare 19-year-old Islay malt is produced in small batches and bottled at 46.2% abv.
Wafts of olive oil on the nose, with aromas of tar and soot which mingle with chocolate ginger biscuits and fresh cut grass. A slightly oily and mouthcoating palate brings an intense hit of sweet mint, followed by classic Ardbeg creosote, coal tar soap, and a hint of smoked pineapple and dark chocolate. Peppermint creams, bonfire embers, and camphor notes lead to a lingering finish of coffee and liquorice.
