19YO V5 Traigh Bhan

Ardbeg 19YO Traigh Bhan is crafted on Islay using heavily peated barley, slow fermentation, and copper pot distillation. Aged for 19 years in a refined mix of American oak and Oloroso sherry casks, time softens the smoke, revealing a rare balance of power and elegance.

Grown in the rugged conditions of Islay, the barley is shaped by salty winds and coastal air. Dried over ancient peat fires, it captures a softer, more nuanced smokiness—less forceful, more refined, yet deeply rooted in its wild origin.

Gentle smoke drifts in with notes of citrus zest, honey, and toasted oak. The palate unfolds with white pepper, dried herbs, and creamy vanilla, wrapped in a refined peat. The finish is long, graceful, and slightly salty, echoing the shores of Islay.

Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its delicate balance, or with a splash of water to open its complexity. Serve at room temperature in a tulip-shaped whisky glass to concentrate its elegant aromas.
