Produced in small batches and released year on year, this exceptionally rare and ever-changing 19 year old draws its inspiration from Islay’s Traigh Bhan beach, known locally as the Singing Sands. Ardbeg Traigh Bhan Batch 4 is the fourth release in this exclusive 19 year old series. Following in the footsteps of the batches that came before it, slight changes to cask selection mean the notes in this whisky vary from the last. More herbal and uniquely mentholic, Batch 4 is a delicious evolution on the series. Bottled under a full moon, Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Years Old Batch 4 represents a changing in the tide for this incredible spirit. An impossibly balanced flavor profile gives rise to rich notes of herbal wood smoke, eucalyptus and aniseed. With subtle changes in the batch recipe annually, Ardbeg fans will enjoy exploring the finer details of this transformational whisky every time it comes around. This means that each bottle of Ardbeg Traigh Bhan is special, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. Aromas of sweet, scented wood smoke, wisps of pine resin, aniseed toffee, citrus and cayenne pepper. Flavors of tarry rope and treacle toffee, aniseed twists and soot with smoked brown sugar, sugar coated walnuts and gentle spices. Finishes with bitter almonds, linseed oil, clove, pepper and soot in its wake.
