Buy Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year Old 2019 Single Malt Scotch Whisky Online from KL Wine Merchants. Ardbeg Distillery, founded in 1815 by the MacDougall family on Islay’s southern coast. It became a vital part of the island’s economy by the late 19th century, employing nearly one-third of its population. Known for producing some of the boldest Scotch whisky, the distillery stands as a testament to Scottish innovation and heritage.

Ardbeg Uigeadail (pronounced “Oog-a-dal”) Single Malt Scotch Whisky derives its name from Loch Uigeadail, the distillery’s sole source of pure water, located 800 feet above sea level. Distillery Manager Michael Heads emphasizes the importance of this deep, peaty water for creating bold whisky. Made from malted barley peated to approximately 50 phenol parts per million, the barley is milled and mashed with water from the loch before fermentation in wooden washbacks. These washbacks, while more expensive and harder to maintain, enhance the whisky’s richness. After 55 hours of fermentation, the wash undergoes double distillation in copper pot stills, with a unique purification process that results in a fresh, malty flavor. Ardbeg Traigh Bhan, a 19-year-old whisky matured in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks, reflects Islay’s Traigh Bhan beach. Thus delivering a strong peaty experience with waves of toasted oak and paprika, leading to a long, resonant finish.
