Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 year old (Batch 4), 46.2%

Price: 300 Issue: Summer 2023 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Single Malt Scotch

Fresh sea breeze, brine, dried seaweed, peat embers, and drying sea shells on a beautifully integrated nose that positively sings of the sea. On the palate, it’s sweet and docile after that sea rush on the nose. Charcoal, golden apples, lemon, and peach tart meld with dark chocolate and espresso, dynamic and subtle all at once. It’s golden nectar with a peat smoke twist. Peat lovers, rise up: This one is not to be missed.
