Ardbeg Traigh Bhan - Batch 6
Ardbeg Traigh Bhan - Batch 6, 19 YO, 46.2%
Here we have the sixth annual release of the 19 year old Ardbeg Traigh Bhan. Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks.
The Ardbeg Traigh Bhan - Batch 6 is available in Norway at NOK 3300 (17480301).
Nose: A bold kick of sherry and dried fruits right off the bat. With time notes of the licorice and citrus candy “Kick”, as well as mild chocolate notes
Taste: Medium-bodied, noticeably drier than expected, with peppery notes, hints of citrus, and an earthy touch of licorice or aniseed. Some chocolate on the palate also, darker though than the nose.
Finish: Medium to long, carrying the same notes through to the end. Hint of mint.
Comment: Simple but packs a punch!
