This series is locally named after the beautiful Traigh Bhan beach on Islay. Each release of Ardbeg 19 Year Old is identifiable by a batch numbering system, with subtle variations between each release to encourage collectors and discussion among enthusiasts. Incredibly rare, this small batch of Ardbeg 19 Year Old, matured in ex-Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks, greets the senses with a delicate aroma of olive oil.

Nose: A very curious hint of olive oil greets you, along with hints of tar, soot, chocolate ginger, and even freshly mown grass.

Palate: The palate is slightly oily and is followed by an intense, minty sweetness, with toast, creosote, and even a whiff of smoked pineapple. The deep, rich flavors continue, with dark chocolate, peppermint creams, and embers of fire.

Finish: The finish is reminiscent of coffee grounds and licorice
