Ardbeg launched the second batch of Traigh Bhan 19 earlier this month. We may be a little late with this news, but that happens if you are just starting a new blog. Still, we didn't want to leave the news of this second batch of Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 untouched. Inspired by the beautiful beaches of Traigh Bhan, also called the singing sands. The whisky is matured in American oak cask and further flavored with Oloroso cherry cask. The change compared to last year's batch is therefore subtle. Compared to the first batch, this 19 year old Traigh Bhan has a softer taste.
