Ardbeg TRAIGH BHAN 19 Years Old Batch No. 6 46,2% Vol. 0,7l in gift box

Description

Unofficially, the Ardbeg distillery has been distilling since 1794 – in 1815, the distillery was bought by John McDougall and officially opened under the name Ardbeg.

“Ardbeg” comes from the Gaelic and translates as “little hill”.

The distillery is located on the south coast of the Islay whisky region.

Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling, presents this new permanent bottling from Ardbeg; a small series that is released annually.

Ardbeg TRAIGH BHAN 19 Years Old Batch No. 6, like its predecessors, is matured in a careful selection of ex-bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, which give it its exceptionally complex flavours. With an alcohol content of 46.2 per cent by volume, this outstanding whisky is bottled without being coloured or chill-filtered.
