Ardbeg 19 YO Traigh Bhan Batch 5 46.2%
Traigh Bhan (pronounced tri-van) is a small-batch whisky named after the vista over a seaside often called Singing Sands. Right here the gentle sands emit a delicate audible hum as they shift with the wind and tides.
Matured in a mixture of oloroso and ex-bourbon cask, Batch 5 of this broadly revered launch will be summed up as having notes of candy mango, maple bacon and soot.
Ardbeg’s tasting notice:
Nostril: Perfumed aromas of luscious tropical fruit move on the breeze, whereas curious notes of natural incense and smoke comply with carefully behind. Menthol lozenge and saddle cleaning soap laps over charred inexperienced pepper, earlier than smoked mango, guava and coconut mingle in an effervescing prime notice.
Palate: A creamy mouthfeel leads the way in which right into a crashing symphony of natural, spicy flavours. Smoked maple cured bacon, charcoal, white pepper and clove rush forth amid mild overtones of the outside in wooden smoke and sea spray.
End: A satisfyingly lengthy end welcomes extra tropical notes, with aromatic heather, heat toffee and smoked butter on the horizon.
