Ardbeg Traigh Bhan #3 Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year Old Batch 3 is a sublime whisky that's the epitome of an aged Ardbeg. Its elegant taste, surprises and begiles, with intense waves of smokiness, that doesn't overwhelm. This rare and special Ardbeg stays with you, long after the last drop. This exclusive, small batch Ardbeg is non-chill-filtered with a strength of 46.2% abv, to retain maximum flavour, and more body and depth. With water a little cloudiness may occur, which is perfectly natural. Tasting Note by The Producer Nose Gentle ripples of smoky pineapple, soured cream and wood smoke make for an irresistible nose. Newly planed oak and supple dark leather sing to your soul as sweet toffee and liquorice draw you in. A splash of water releases a surge of unexpected notes. Struck flint, herbal pine resin and coal tar effervesce towards citrusy lime sherbet and subtle, yet sweet vanilla cheesecake. Palate The peaty power of this alluring spirit is undeniable, as it plunges your palate into its smoky depths. An intensely salty mouthfeel drifts into sweet and sour notes of smoked chili chocolate and paprika. Waves of toasted oak and roasted tea leaves emerge, before subsiding to reveal fresh peppermint fondant and salted white chocolate. Finish Firm but gentle, soothing wood smoke carries into a length, lingering finish – resonating far beyond the glass.
