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!

Score 87/100
