Description
Capturing the essence of Traigh Bhan beach, in which soft white sands are pierced by jagged volcanic rocks, this is the fifth batch of this cult Ardbeg bottling. Bottled in humidity and matured in oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, this small batch 19 year-old Ardbeg is arguably the most tropical dram to leave the distillery. Presented at 46.2% abv.
Notes of fresh green peppers, smoked mango and guava mingle with maple bacon on the perfumed nose. A deep smokiness gives waves of aniseed, burnt heather and spiced chive. A satisfyingly long, sizzling finish brings with it notes of warm toffee fudge, more tropical notes and smoked butter.
