TRAIGH BHAN  

From the Ardbeg Distillery to Port Ellen and beyond, follow the rocky coast and you will discover the heavenly vista of Traigh Bhan (pronounced tri-van), the beautiful beach known locally as the Singing Sands…

For this captivating place has soft white sands that sing beneath your feet, a hum that ebbs and flows with the winds and the tides. But beguiling as this place is, do not drop your guard. Bathing is ill-advised in the seemingly tame crystal waters where jagged, volcanic rocks pierce the sands along the shore.

ARDBEG 19 YEARS OLD BATCH 7 - THE LAST BATCH

INTENSE BEGINNINGS 

An intense aroma of rich smoky coal dust and tar confronts the senses, softened by invigorating peppermint and eucalyptus sweetness. A touch of water reveals hidden layers: a floral and herbal medley, hinting at lavender serenity, jasmine elegance, and a whisper of bog myrtle.

HARMONIOUS BALANCE

The palate bursts with citrus notes of lemon peel and bergamot, flowing into waves of classic Ardbeg medicinal smoke. The influence of Oloroso sherry casks follows, with warming spices of ginger and cumin, cascading into a dry cocoa powder sensation and espresso. The finish is long, lingering with a balance of salted toffee, charred wood, tar and burning sweet heather, all underpinned by warming spices.
