Ardbeg 19 Year Old Traigh Bhan - Batch 2

Ardbeg 19 Year Old Traigh Bhan Batch 2 is the second release in the distillery's acclaimed annual series, inspired by Traigh Bhan (tri-van), Islay's famous "Singing Sands" beach. Matured for 19 years in a combination of American oak bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, this limited release showcases a beautifully refined expression of Ardbeg's iconic peated style. Bottled at 46.2% ABV, Batch 2 subtly evolves the original while retaining its celebrated balance.

The nose offers sweet wood smoke, crème fraîche, roasted tea leaves, and fennel, followed by fresh sea spray, leather, eucalyptus, and pine. The palate unfolds with maritime salinity, gentle medicinal notes, aniseed, rich fudge, birch tar, and signature Ardbeg peat smoke, culminating in a long, savoury, smoky finish.

Released in limited batches each year, Traigh Bhan has become one of Ardbeg's most collectible modern expressions, combining exceptional maturity with the distillery's unmistakable coastal character.
