Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают Ardbeg Traigh Bhan как дымный, но при этом мягкий и зрелый виски с фруктовыми и цитрусовыми нотами, морскими и минеральными оттенками. Мнения о выразительности расходятся: часть отзывов отмечает гармоничность и глубину, часть — водянистость и слабую интенсивность.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах неоднократно упоминается дымный, торфяной профиль, который описывают как хорошо интегрированный и утончённый, а не резкий. Нос и вкус связывают с тропическими и цитрусовыми фруктами (ананас, дыня, манго, мандарин, лимон, грейпфрут), а также с орехами, ванилью, мёдом, шоколадом и специями. Ряд отзывов выделяет морские и минеральные ноты — йод, соль, морские камни, водоросли, а также камфору, эвкалипт и мяту. Несколько отзывов описывают виски как зрелый, гармоничный и хорошо сбалансированный, с длинным финишем и мягкостью, нетипичной для более «буйного» Islay.
Вместе с тем оценки и впечатления расходятся. Часть отзывов отмечает водянистость или недостаточную интенсивность, слабую выразительность, излишнюю горечь в финише, а также высокую цену относительно того, что виски предлагает. Один отзыв прямо называет профиль «слабым и лёгким», более подходящим для новичков и лишённым характерных черт Ardbeg; другой указывает, что эта версия уступает более ранним. Также встречаются замечания о вариативности от партии к партии.

It looks like the Whiskyslayer has already tasted this dram even though it hasn't been released yet. Pretty clever!

Simple but tasty strong peat.
Smoky, berries, dark chocolate, plum. A perfect balance between Ardbeg’s smokiness and sherry cask richness. Exceptionally well-balanced. 88.5pt

Sampled at a festival. Bourbon cask led. A lot of vanilla and honey. A touch of dried red fruits. Slightly watery on the palate. Charred oak and bonfire. Very vibrant peat for a 19yo. Too expensive for what it offers.

The 6th edition is woodier, drier, less fruity than the 2nd and 3rd if I remember correctly, in short, still pretty heavy stuff! Nose on the dried and burnt sea spray, peppery spices, candied lemon and sweet mint The palate offers notes of dry peat, grass, vanilla and candied citrus, exotic fruits, wood, and shavings. The finish has the same aromas, a dram that is still delicate and almost not alcoholic enough.
The Traigh Bhan 19 Batch 6 is a harmonious, mature Ardbeg that has softened its rough edges with age. This suits it very well, and this wine is definitely worth recommending. It's not cheap, but it's worth the money.

Tasted this one blind. Thrid dram of the evening. Wauw. I immediately like this! Meaty, fatty, oily, maritime with delicious smoke and a salty complexity. Fruit - mandarin, peach, melon. But, there is something crazy too, something off. Mix of lactic vibes, earthy meat (goat / lamb) and peppermint. Subtle, complex, layered. Is it Ardbeg? Is it Lagavulin? Or Laphroaig? I was in doubt, so much in doubt and I went back and forth between the 3 distilleries. Bam, 19y old Ardbeg. I was surprised :-) Pleasantly surprised. I'm normally not a huge Ardbeg fan. But this bottle, wauw... This one is a keeper. Love it. Thanks Uwe for the great tasting and the amazing line-up!

| Нос | 93 | Great nose, so good, so old, so deep. Hint of stinky tones. Stinky sweaty sportshoe? Lactic vibes. But it disappears rather quick. Refined smoke. Mandarin. Spicy wood. Peppermint. Fatty, buttery. Peachy. So deep, mmm, so sweet... And then. Less fruity, more salty, fish oil? Great complexity and great evolution when oxidizing... |
| Вкус | 89 | Meaty. Chewy. Sweet. Smokey. Sportshoe-vibes again :-) Stinky, funky, but yes... Delicious. Peppermint roasted lamb in the oven. Salty. Oily. Bit like old Laphroaig... but different :-) Melon. Fish oil. Menthol. Apothecary / pharmacy. Iodine. Fatty. Smoke transforms into dry peat. Cinnamon. Sandalwood. Wet hemp ropes. Anise. Woody bitters towards the end... Wauw! |
| Финиш | 89 | Great finish! Hint of bitters, that slowly transform into old wood. Long lingering. Then, more transformation. Vanilla, peach, more mineral, less apothecary - hint of clove, licorice and peppermint again. |

Aroma: beautiful, complex, smoky, clean, nutty aroma, meaty character, candied fruit Taste: very delicious, fresh, spicy, very pleasant smoke with a hint of eucalyptus freshness
The overall flavor is weak, light style, more suitable for beginners, lacking the characteristics of Ardbeg

It didn't actually start badly, but the nose area was a bit ordinary. Well, under the sun, there can be an unofficial "tax" on the nose, especially with big brands like this. It varies from batch to batch, so you need to look at older batches, but it can't be said that this particular batch had a big impact. Price-performance ratio: Medium-low. Would I repurchase?: I might want to try a sample from another batch, but I wouldn't buy a bottle.

| Нос | 86 | Typical Ardbeg camphor. Car exhaust; even the exhaust of a car burning engine oil. Eucalyptus. Biscuit-like notes underneath; cheesecake. Burnt plastic. Slightly kelpy but not too much, the coastal side makes its presence felt without being overwhelming. Black-eyed peas. Cured fish. Lightly fermented cherries. Slightly roasted notes. Roasted Petit Beurre biscuits. Leafy notes. Instant coffee. Very light bandage. A little iodine. Intense thyme. Flaxseed oil. Interestingly, honeysuckle nectar in the background, perhaps among more herbal notes. Slight lemon balm juice. Fresh asphalt, earthiness. A pleasant and balanced nose. |
| Вкус | 85 | Acorns. Unroasted hazelnuts. Maraschino cherries. Sour cherries in jam. Perceptible naphthalene and camphor. Dried red apple. One side like baked fish skin. The dilution is noticeable; the whisky isn't underpowered in the strict sense, but at certain points it feels like it has a few more things to say. Grassiness, sugarcane juice, and shoe polish. Good. |
| Финиш | 85 | A nice smoky side. Lime, ash over time. Pleasant and peaty. Exhaust and engine oil. Burnt marshmallow. A little subdued here. The slight sweetness continues here. Embers. Low intensity but not too short in length; slightly below medium length if not. Acorn. A slightly gasoline-like side. Not unpleasant, but is it perhaps a little shallow? |
Identical on paper to last year's and yet completely different, better or worse is a matter of taste, but the level remains very high, this time with a very pleasant and damn drinkable freshness.

| Нос | 89 | On the nose it pushes on iodine and minerality, ocean and sea rocks in the glass with tropical fruit (grapefruit, lime, pineapple), apple, nuts (almonds, pistachios) and a noticeable pastry component with cream tartlets and sweet liquorice. A touch of nutmeg and black pepper. The sulphurous, barely tarry peat is well integrated, leaving room for the fresher notes, which become more ashy and mineral with time. Pungent. |
| Вкус | 88 | The palate has an almost spring-like lightness, not in the body, which has a good consistency, but in a sparkling composition of flavours framed by sweet paprika and black pepper. The fruit is still tropical and citrusy, finding close accomplices in green apple and tamarind, always with a good dose of nuts (almonds in crescendo, even marzipan), sweet liquorice, aniseed, cloves and candied ginger. All immersed in a sea of iodine and mineral notes, very pronounced, with oysters, smoked mussels, grilled herring and lots of charcoal, with just a little piece of tyre to sizzle. |
| Финиш | 88 | The finish is long and citrusy, with coastal minerality, chewy smoke, salt, almonds, apples. |

The nose is very fruity at first, with plums, citrus, and pears, but it remains somewhat light, with a mineral thread: limestone, iodine, eucalyptus, and very well-contained vanilla. Behind this, charcoal, heady peat, vegetal notes, and a medicinal touch emerge. On the palate, red apples, juicy pears, goji berries, and mountain honey. Almond paste, a pinch of salt, and sweet spices follow. The peat is discreet, mingling with some fish. The finish is very long, but not explosive, very peaty, with shortbread, dried seaweed, samphire, waxed wood, dark, charred chocolate, a zest of lemon, and licorice. There are some really good things in there, but I'm not totally convinced. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2026/05/ardbeg-2005-traigh-bhan-19-yo-batch-6.html

Clearly a few notches lower than versions 1 and 2.. less crisp, more cloyingly sweet on the palate..

Very nice, a pleasant surprise. It's a classic Ardbeg profile, but well executed, and doesn't have that youthful feel like many similar editions.

| Нос | 89 | A nose of lemon and candied orange, with a lovely, melted, ashy peat. Beautiful, delicate, and fresh camphor. |
| Вкус | 89 | On the palate, camphoraceous and sweet, with white pepper and a nice dose of various citrus fruits. Very nice. |
| Финиш | 88 | A very pleasant finish, with balanced ashy peat and citrus sweetness. |
No pepper, excessive smoke, or alcoholic peaks. If you're looking for a boisterous Islay whisky, this isn't it; this one is serene and composed. A wonderfully mature, smoky whisky with depth, fantastic wood aromas, and a long finish.

| Нос | 90 | Instantly dissipated, refined smoke. Ripe pear, mandarin, soft vanilla, coconut flakes, spicy wood, and a hint of mint. The bottle mentions 'olive oil,' and I can understand the association—more like handmade olive oil soap. |
| Вкус | 88 | The first sip is oily and salty, yet smooth, almost soft, with the flavor intensifying towards the finish. A subtle sweetness emerges before aromatic spices unfold: cinnamon, allspice, sandalwood, aniseed, all enveloped in maritime smoke. |
| Финиш | 89 | The finish seamlessly continues the flavor and lasts a long time; all the previously mentioned spices are present and become more floral, cloves and chamomile, along with salmiak licorice. |
