Ardbeg TRAIGH BHAN 19 y.o. batch 7

The Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Years Old Batch No. 7 marks the culmination of an exceptional series. As the final edition of this renowned, strictly limited Islay single malt, Batch No. 7 represents the best that the Traigh Bhan series has produced - with the highest alcohol content of all previous bottlings (50.3% vol.) and an even more intense, complex character.

Named after the beautiful but treacherous Traigh Bhan beach on Islay, this 19-year-old single malt combines the wild contrasts of nature, time and craftsmanship. Matured in a combination of Oloroso sherry casks and ex-bourbon casks, this Ardbeg displays a unique balance between smoky depth, aromatic elegance and velvety structure.

Bottled in small batches, non-chill-filtered and with maximum flavor, this whisky offers an unadulterated drinking experience in which a natural cloudiness can form when water is added - a sign of its original strength. It is more than just a whisky: it is a collector's item with rarity value and will be remembered by connoisseurs long after the last drop has been drunk. (automated translation)
